Police Investigate After Brutal Attack in Vienna-Ottakring

On Tuesday at 12:45 AM, the severely injured man, who was bleeding heavily, activated the emergency switch at the Brunnengasse police station and asked for help. He was taken by rescue services with life-threatening injuries to the shock room of a hospital. The police identified the suspected crime scene by following the trail of blood the man left on his way to the station. The apartment on Friedmanngasse is unlikely to be the residence of the injured man. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office, West Branch, is conducting the investigations.
