The police operation was triggered by an attentive witness who heard screams from the house opposite in the morning and called emergency services.

"Furiously Jealous": Man Attacked Partner in Vienna-Leopoldstadt

Officers from the Tempelgasse police station arrived at the scene near Praterstraße around 9:30 a.m. and found the 34-year-old woman, who appeared dazed and was trembling all over, along with her agitated boyfriend. The woman reported the attacks by the Turkish citizen, who had meanwhile hidden the knife in a drawer. The 44-year-old, like the woman, was apparently impaired by drugs and was uncooperative and aggressive towards the officers. He was arrested, and a restraining order, as well as a temporary weapons ban, was issued against him.

The 34-year-old was provided with emergency medical care by a rescue service and taken to a hospital. "She stated that her boyfriend is furiously jealous and wanted to get married after just two weeks," said police spokeswoman Anna Gutt to APA. When the woman said she didn't want to do it so quickly, he verbally abused her. The public prosecutor ordered that the man, who was already known to the authorities, be charged on suspicion of making dangerous threats and causing bodily harm while at liberty.
