Violent clashes in parks: injured and fleeting perpetrators in Vienna!
On Friday evening, July 19, 2025, two violent clashes in parks occurred in Vienna, as reported by the Krone . In the first situation in the Steinbauerpark in Vienna-Meidling, a 20-year-old got into a loud argument and handmade with other young men with two friends. The exact reason for the conflict has so far been unknown. The young man was seriously injured with a knife and had to wait over an hour for help. The perpetrators were able to flee, and a search in the near area was unsuccessful.
The second incident occurred in a park in the favorite district around 11 p.m. Here a 38-year-old man argued with a stranger and was also injured with a pointed object. In this case, too, the suspect fled while the injured victim was taken to the hospital.
statistics on crime in Austria
In addition, the figures on drug crime show a troubling trend. Around 35,400 drug offenses were reported in 2023, which represents an increase compared to the previous year. Here, too, many of the crimes accounted for Vienna, where cannabis still remains the most frequent addictive. The population has a split opinion on the legalization of cannabis; About 50% of Austrians speak for it.
public perception and trust
The social perception of crime is also noticeable. Around 70% of Austrians believe that immigrants intensify crime problems, and 85% are demanding a greater control of Islamist terror. Trust in the police is 77%, while 72% of the judiciary's population trust, as surveys in spring 2024 showed.
The police clarification rate for 2023 is 52.3%, and the crime rate shows no signs of an immediate improvement. The confidence in the police and the judiciary could be seen as a step in the right direction in order to be able to counter the challenges in combating crime.
