Vienna-Favoriten: Syrian Injured on Way Home from Work by Unknown Assailants with Glass Bottle to the Head
According to police spokeswoman Anna Gutt, the young man stated that he was on his way home from work when he was insulted without reason by three unknown individuals in Gellertgasse around 7:15 PM. He ignored the men and walked past them. Suddenly, one of them attacked him from behind with the bottle.

He struck the 24-year-old twice on the head, and the bottle broke in the process. Then the other two unknown individuals attacked the Syrian citizen with their fists. The attackers eventually fled, and a search by the alerted officers of the Favoriten city police command was unsuccessful. The injured man was provided with emergency medical care by a rescue service and taken to a hospital. There, the doctors primarily had to determine whether glass shards had entered the wound.
According to Gutt, residents observed the incident from their windows and made cell phone videos. As far as the investigators know so far, these only showed the incident after the perpetrators had fled. The police requested information - also anonymously - at any police station.
