Following an attack on a resident of a nursing home in Vienna-Währing on Friday evening, an 85-year-old man was arrested.
The pensioner is alleged to have pressed a pillow into the face of the bedridden man of the same age, and only let go of him after the intervention of a female resident and the nursing staff, reported the State Police Directorate on Saturday. The victim was unharmed. Both men suffer from dementia.
Neither the bedridden man nor the 85-year-old Austrian could be questioned yet. He is also suspected of having previously attacked an employee in the home with punches. The man is in a judicial institution on suspicion of attempted murder.
