On Tuesday evening, a 34-year-old rammed the car of a 55-year-old on the Währinger Gürtel in Vienna-Alsergrund. He then scratched the vehicle's hood with a butterfly knife and forcefully stabbed the windshield while the victim called emergency services from inside the car. The reason for the escalation: the 55-year-old allegedly "cut off" the 34-year-old several times before.

The incident occurred around 8:30 PM. As a result of the alleged ramming maneuver, the vehicle came to a stop across the roadway. The alerted Vienna police officers quickly arrived at the scene. With their service weapons drawn, they ordered the 34-year-old to drop the knife. The Syrian citizen complied and was subsequently overpowered and arrested using physical force. The knife was secured by the officers.

After Accident: 34-Year-Old Arrested Following Escalation on Vienna Gürtel

During his interrogation, the 34-year-old partially confessed. He stated that the 55-year-old had "cut him off" several times, which led to the accident. Out of anger, he then damaged the 55-year-old's vehicle. A provisional weapons ban was issued against the 34-year-old. He remains in police custody.
