Viennese Man Threatened Wife and Father-in-Law: WEGA Stopped Him with Gun and Knife
The incident occurred around 12:45 AM. The man had threatened to kill his 29-year-old wife and her father in their shared apartment in the Kaiserebersdorfer Straße area. According to police spokeswoman Julia Schick, the argument was likely triggered by the man's jealousy. After the dangerous threat against the 29-year-old wife and father-in-law, the victim alerted the police - the WEGA was able to stop the man during an immediate search in the Troststraße area. A blank-firing gun and a kitchen knife were found on the 33-year-old Austrian citizen.
The weapons were confiscated. A restraining order and a preliminary weapons ban were issued against the man. He is currently in police custody.
