Brutal Home Invasion in Vienna-Floridsdorf: 38-Year-Old Seriously Injured with Axe Handle

The perpetrators knocked on the door, and when the victim opened it, they forced their way into the apartment and attempted to tie the man up with cable ties. The 38-year-old resisted and was then struck on the head with the handle of an axe. A neighbor heard cries for help and called the police, causing the robbers to flee.

Police officers found the 38-year-old lying in the hallway, heavily bleeding but responsive.

Whether anything was stolen was still unclear, said police spokeswoman Anna Gutt in response to an APA inquiry. The victim was still in the hospital.
