Brutal Stabbing in Vienna Venue: Two Men in Life-Threatening Condition

According to police spokesperson Philipp Haßlinger, the brawl occurred in the club on Märzstraße shortly before 1:00 AM, during which the opponents of the 33- and 36-year-old men allegedly grabbed a knife and stabbed multiple times. The venue owner, who was standing outside the club, rushed in and was also injured.

Alerted police officers found one of the victims - both are Serbian citizens - in the venue, while another had dragged himself to Goldschlagstraße. The Vienna professional rescue service took over emergency medical care and transported the injured to hospitals. The club owner was not in life-threatening condition, and the other two victims were already on the road to recovery by Friday noon. The perpetrators - reportedly two men - were initially nowhere to be found.

Background of the dispute in Vienna-Rudolfsheim remains unclear

The background of the dispute remains unclear. Investigators from the West branch of the State Criminal Office would like to know whether the brawl arose spontaneously or if it was possibly a pre-arranged meeting. The club owner could not say much so far, as he only arrived when the altercation was already underway, tried to mediate, and was attacked in the process. The questioning of further witnesses was ongoing on Friday. The criminal investigators also hope to gain insights from the evaluation of evidence, such as images from video cameras in the vicinity of the club, which is frequented mainly by people with a migration background from the successor states of Yugoslavia.
