Ax attack in Klagenfurt: Man threatens ex-partner and family!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - A threatening incident occurred in Klagenfurt when a 31-year-old man threatened his ex-partner with an ax. According to Kosmo , the series of threats in the Klagenfurt district continued when the man also threatened his sister and his former brother-in-law with death. The events escalated when he violently opened the front door to the house of his brother -in -law and scored fear and terror.

Before the police arrived, the man managed to flee and hide near the crime scene. The police and several patrol vehicles took up the persecution, supported by a service dog and the Libelle Flir police helicopter, which contributed decisively to the localization of the fleeting. Despite another attempt to escape, the man was finally arrested by the emergency services on the ground, while the investigation into the incident is continued in the face of the severity of the threats.

violence in society

The incident in Klagenfurt once again throws a light on the subject of violence, especially violence against women. According to a survey by Eurostat and the Federal Chancellery from 2021, violence against women refers to such attacks that women experience due to their gender or that affects them disproportionately. The survey, which deals with gender -specific violence and other interpersonal forms of violence, shows the prevalence of violence against women in their adult life, both within intimate relationships and outside.

The survey covers different forms of violence, including stalking, sexual harassment at work and violence in childhood. These are all topics that should be seriously discussed in society. As part of its “Strategy for Equality of Gender 2020–2025”, the European Commission has promised extensive measures against gender -related violence. Among other things, this strategy also includes improved data survey on violence against women in order to strengthen prevention and intervention.

Incidents such as the one in Klagenfurt thus illustrate the urgency to deal with violence against women and to develop suitable strategies in order to combat this social problem. The ongoing investigations after the incident are another step to seriously pursue such threats and to hold potential perpetrators responsible. Statistics Austria provides important information that can help to understand the background and patterns of such violence better.
