Woman in Vienna-Margareten Fled from Violent Husband into Store

According to the state police directorate, the blood-covered woman stated upon arrival that she had just been beaten by her husband and was afraid of his aggressiveness. The suspect - a 22-year-old Syrian - was arrested during the subsequent official action.

Woman Was Provided Emergency Medical Care by Vienna Professional Rescue

While the woman was provided emergency medical care by the Vienna professional rescue and taken to a hospital, police officers went to the marital apartment and confronted the husband with the suspicion against him. He reportedly showed himself to be "very uncooperative and unrepentant" from the start, according to the state police directorate. He refused to cooperate in establishing his identity and instead attacked the officers with punches and kicks. He was then arrested, during which two police officers were injured.

By order of the Vienna public prosecutor's office, the 22-year-old has now been transferred to a correctional facility. He is now being investigated, among other things, on suspicion of multiple serious bodily harm. The man was also issued a restraining order and a temporary weapons ban.
