Pitbull alarm in Vienna: Chaos and injured at Brutal attack!

In a shocking incident in Vienna-Alderlaa, three people were attacked by an unregistered Pitbull on May 2, 2025. The police received an emergency call at 10:35 a.m., which led to an immediate use. During a verbal argument between two brothers and the dog owner, the attack occurred. The brothers suffered injuries, as did the 52-year-old dog owner who returned and was also bitten. The police also found that parts of the housing walls were removed from the dog, which indicates the aggressive nature of the animal.

Since the dog owner could not present any official documents for the Pitbull, the animal was confiscated by the emergency services. Specialists of the police service dog unit were used with protective shields, bite gloves and fishing loops to secure the dog. The dog caused violent resistance, which made the fuse difficult. Finally, however, he could be taken to a transport box.

Safe accommodation and death of the dog

After the fuse, the Pitbull showed signs of apathy and was handed over to the animal rescue. A veterinarian later found the death of the animal, whose cause of death is now being examined by the veterinary office. These dramatic events once again throw a light on the strict regulations that have been valid for certain dog breeds in Vienna since 2019. For list dogs, which also include Pitbulls, there is a duty to have a dog license. Halter must also ensure that their dogs are kept in public places with a muzzle and a leash. Illegal holding such dogs is a growing problem, so there were already 54 registered bite injuries in Vienna in 2023 in Vienna.

The dog owner must now be responsible for negligent bodily harm and violations of animal owner regulations. The incidents illustrate the risks that can be assumed that the hazard not properly reported and how important compliance with legal requirements for the protection of the public is. The Vienna Animal Welfare Mom buds points out that, in addition to the increase in illegally kept hazard dogs, compliance with the dog fee obligation and the various regulations is essential for the well -being of humans and animals.

For all owners of dogs that are classified as potentially dangerous, there is an obligation to take the dog license check within three months of the start of the attitude. This also applies to people who are only temporary in Vienna. A certificate of expertise has been mandatory for new dog owners since July 1, 2019 if they have not kept a dog in the past two years. In non-dismantling dog runs, strict muzzle obligations also apply to ensure the safety of everyone.

Overall, this incident is an urgent appeal to dog owners to take responsibility seriously and to stick to the applicable laws in order to prevent such tragic incidents in the future.
