Aggressive gambier attacks police officers - two officers injured!

Lehrbachgasse, 1120 Wien, Österreich - On June 5, 2025, a violent incident occurred in Lehrbachgasse in Vienna-Meidling, in which an 18-year-old Gambian citizen attacked several police officers. The man behaved aggressively and drew attention to himself by loud screaming, which caused several people to alert the police. Despite the efforts of the officials to calm him down, the man did not react cooperatively and finally attacked the police during the identity determination. The situation escalated so far that additional emergency services were necessary to control the man. Two police officers were injured in the incident, and one of them was no longer able to continue service. The suspect refused any statement and was transferred to a prison. This reports vienna.at.

The argument in Meidling has not been the only incident of violent nature recently. On Sunday evening there was a fight between rival men's groups in another part of Vienna, in which four people were seriously injured. In this incident, three men received stabbing, while another man was injured by blunt violence. The police initiated a large -scale search according to the perpetrators, but has so far been unsuccessful. On Monday morning, a 29-year-old Chechen was finally arrested, who is suspected of having brought several suspects to the Anton-Kummer-Park by car, where a previous incident took place on Friday evening. When arrested, a shotgun and electronic data carrier was ensured, which underlines the complexity and danger of incidents.

rival groups and public security

The arguments in Vienna seem to have complex backgrounds. The victims of the Sunday fight are Afghan citizens aged 15, 18 and 22. They reported that they were attacked at the forecourt of the train station by masked men with hammers, glass bottles, knives and firearms. The police suspect that rival groups, including Chechen, Syrian and Afghan groups, are in conflict with each other. A previous incident in which a 30-year-old Chechen was stabbed could also play a role. The police have strengthened their presence at the hotspots in Vienna to ensure public security and prevent possible revenge.

statistics on crime in Austria show that around 528,000 crimes had to be reported in 2023, which has been the highest level since 2016. Vienna particularly stands out, where over a third of these crimes were committed. Due to the increasing number of crimes, it can be seen that the population's need for security is growing. 70% of Austrians believe that immigrants tighten the crime problems. It also shows that a large proportion of the suspects among foreigners come. This illustrates the challenges with which the police and the judiciary are confronted. Statista provides relevant data and information.

Overall, these events reflect the current tensions and security concerns that affect Vienna and other cities in Austria. The police are faced with the difficult task of developing both public security strategies and effectively countering the large number of incidents.
