"Home Invasion" in Vienna-Penzing: Pensioner Beaten and Kicked

During a "home invasion" in Vienna-Penzing, an 87-year-old was injured during severe mistreatment on Friday morning. According to police spokeswoman Anna Gutt, the robber likely sneaked into the victim's garden in the Ameisbachzeile via a neighboring property and waited until the pensioner came out of the house. Around 9:00 a.m., when the pensioner wanted to leave, the perpetrator forced him back into his house.

Pensioner in Vienna-Penzing Experienced "Home Invasion"

There, he pushed the 87-year-old to the ground. Then he repeatedly hit and kicked him. The elderly man suffered several hematomas in the head area and presumably a mild concussion. To prevent the pensioner from alerting the emergency services, the masked man also damaged his phone. The robber searched the entire house and found a high three-digit amount of cash. He fled with the loot.

The 87-year-old shortly called for help with a second mobile phone. An emergency service provided him with medical care and took the shocked man to a hospital. He could hardly provide a description of the perpetrator. The latter was fully masked and dressed in dark clothing. The investigation was taken over by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office. A search for the robber was conducted.
