Shock in Villach: Messer attack costs young people life!

Villach, Österreich - in Villach there was a shocking knife attack on Saturday that shocked a city. A 23-year-old Syrian, Ahmad G., wanted to attack passers-by indiscriminately and stabbed a 14-year-old student while five other people were injured. Two of them are in the intensive care unit in a critical condition. This brutal act occurred in the city center, very close to the main square, and led to a massive police operation measure. According to police spokesman Rainer Dionisio, the incident was made at around 4 p.m., and the perpetrator was arrested only seven minutes after the first emergency call, such as the Press reported.

The attack was stopped by a brave 42-year-old meal deliverer who caught the perpetrator with his car, which may prevent worse things. "I couldn't allow that," said the witness of Exxpress . After the incident, the community, especially friends of the victim, mourned on social media. The background of the crime is still unclear, and there is currently no evidence of possible accomplices. A political outcry followed immediately, and politicians of all colors expressed their horror about this incident, and consequences in the field of asylum and security policy are now required.

However, there is also contradictory information about the origin of the perpetrator. While the media reports that he was never housed in the asylum home in Villach, the Federal Ministry of the Interior has set up a platform to encourage witnesses to share its observations and evidence. The political spectrum also reacted to the dramatic situation: FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl spoke of "system failure", while other politicians demanded sharper weapons laws. There are still questions about possible motivations and the security situation in Austria.
