Bloody argument: Entrepreneur stands down!

In the night of Wednesday, May 28, 2025, there was a brutal incident in Wiener Neustadt, in which a 43-year-old woman attacked a 52-year-old New Zealand with a knife and injured him. Die Attacke ereignete sich in einer Unterkunft in der Viktor Kaplan Straße, kurz nach 23.30 Uhr, als es zu einer Auseinandersetzung während eines Gesprächs kam, wie Kleine Zeitung berichtet.

The perpetrator, who is known as an entrepreneur, was quickly arrested by the police and the Lower Austrian State Criminal Police Office and then admitted to the Wiener Neustadt judgment. The victim suffered cuts from a package knife and was admitted to the University Hospital Wiener Neustadt for treatment. According to reports, however, there is no danger to the 52-year-old.

In addition to the package knife, the woman is also said to have hit the victim with a baseball bat, which was also secured. There was a well-known ratio between the 43-year-old and the 52-year-old, which might lead to the escalation of the situation. The investigation indicates an attempted murder, but the exact motivation situation is still being examined. The accused has already been interrogated, but was not admitted, as Kurier reported.

The incident throws a light on the increasing acts of violence that are recorded in the police crime statistics. The Federal Criminal Police Office regularly carries out police crime statistics (PKS), which documents the development of criminal events in Austria. Since 2001 all displayed cases have been registered electronically, which supports effective combating of crime, but part of the number of unreported cases is not taken into account, as can be seen from the information from the Federal Criminal Police Office.

The current incident underlines the need to deal with the reasons for such violent acts and to take appropriate measures for prevention. In the coming days, the investigation will continue to bring further details about the background of the crime.
