After further escalations over the weekend, the victims finally contacted the police, who arrested the aggressor. He later attacked the officers at a police station. According to police spokeswoman Anna Gutt, the young man is now in pre-trial detention.
"The Family Was Afraid"
Already on Saturday afternoon, there was the first violent outburst of the 21-year-old in the family's apartment near the Schönbrunn subway station and the Outer Mariahilfer Street, after his 55-year-old mother had asked him to wipe something up in the kitchen. He strangled his 16-year-old sister and his mother before punching his father several times in the ribs.
On Sunday afternoon, the situation escalated again over housework: When his mother tried once more to get him to wipe something up - this time in the bathroom - he punched her several times in the face and upper body. "The family was afraid," Gutt described the events. This time, the victims - all Austrian citizens with Indian roots - alerted the police. The young man initially accompanied the officers voluntarily to a police station, while his relatives were given first aid by a rescue service and taken to a hospital for injury assessment.
Pre-Trial Detention for 21-Year-Old
During the interrogation, however, the 21-year-old became increasingly uncooperative and aggressive, Gutt reported. He eventually tried to escape from the station with violence but was overpowered and arrested. The police officers issued a restraining and approach ban against him, as well as a provisional weapons ban. He was charged with multiple counts of bodily harm, attempted serious bodily harm, and attempted resistance to state authority, and was taken to a correctional facility by order of the Vienna public prosecutor's office, where pre-trial detention has now been imposed.
