Bloody dispute in front of homeless shelter: police are looking for witnesses!

At the beginning of December 2024, a dramatic incident occurred in front of a homeless facility in Vienna. A dispute between three men escalated when, according to witness statements, the suspect threatened his two opponents with death and finally attacked them with a knife. A 38-year-old man suffered a life-threatening stab wound below the breastbone. Thanks to an emergency operation, the man's life was saved, but he remains in the hospital, as the police announced last Sunday. The search for the alleged perpetrator is still ongoing and a photo of the suspect has been released on the orders of the public prosecutor. Anonymous tips are requested for the State Criminal Police Office on 01-31310-25100, as ORF reported.

Police and their responsibility

The events in Vienna highlight the central role of the police in ensuring internal security. The police are an indispensable tool for maintaining legal peace and ensuring that such conflicts do not get out of hand. Policey, derived from the Greek term for political responsibility, has a long history and is closely linked to the development of internal security. The police are tasked with defending the state's monopoly on violence and protecting citizens from criminal attacks. This fundamental function is firmly anchored in the history of states, from the princes of the European Middle Ages to modern democratic constitutional states in which civil rights must be upheld, as explained on the Police History website.

The serious incident in Vienna shows why protecting lives and ensuring public order are always the focus of the police. Their powers of intervention are not arbitrary, but are subject to a clear legal framework that is intended to ensure the protection of the population.
