Dramatic WEGA Operation in Vienna-Favoriten: 23-Year-Old Wanted to Kill Stepmother

A 42-year-old woman was hit and threatened with a knife by her stepson in Vienna-Favoriten on November 30. When officers from the Favoriten city police command knocked on the door around 8:00 pm, the 23-year-old announced that he would "kill" the woman, as reported by the state police directorate on Sunday noon. As a result, officers from the WEGA special operations command were called in, who forcibly opened the apartment and arrested the suspect.

By this time, the woman had already managed to knock the knife out of her stepson's hand. As both were standing directly at an open window of the apartment located on the second floor, the weapon fell onto the street.

The woman suffered several injuries to the face. She was given emergency medical treatment and taken to a hospital by the Vienna professional rescue service. A restraining order and a temporary weapons ban were issued against the 23-year-old. The reason for the violent dispute is currently unclear. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office, South Branch, has taken over the investigation.
