Masked attacker violently adds 19-year-old in Feldkirch!

In the early morning hours of March 15, 2025, there was a violent incident in Feldkirch, in which a 19-year-old man was seriously injured. The young man had visited a nightclub in Marktgasse together with a colleague when he was suddenly approached and insulted by an unknown perpetrator when he left the restaurant between 03:30 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. This finally grabbed the head punch and injured the victim so badly that medical treatment was necessary. Fortunately, the injuries were not life-threatening, but the 19-year-old had to be brought to the State Hospital Feldkirch after contacting the emergency services independently.

The alleged attacker could escape undetected after the incident. In this context, the police ask for help from the population and are looking for witnesses who can provide information on the incident. According to the description, the perpetrator should be between 165 and 170 cm tall and wore a black hoodie and black cargo pants. He also spoke in the Vorarlberg dialect, which indicates that he may come from the area around Nofels. Information can be reported to the Feldkirch city police on 05522/3041222. As reports kosmo , the search for the perpetrator for the police is of great importance.

knife attack two months earlier

The incident is not the only violent incident that recently made headlines in Feldkirch. On September 24, 2023, a 35-year-old man in Wichnergasse, near the train station, was seriously injured with several knife stings in the upper body. The perpetrator, also a 35-year-old, was able to flee after the crime, but was arrested by the police shortly afterwards. The victim is, according to OE24 , also in the State Hospital Feldkirch and is now out of life.

The exact motifs behind this act have so far been unclear and the investigation by the police continues to run in full swing. For this incident, the police are also looking for witnesses who can provide information on the execution of the crime or the persons who were involved in the incident. Information can be reported to the State Criminal Police Office in Vorarlberg on 059/133 80 3333.

security situation and crime development

Both incidents also make a highlight of the general security situation in Feldkirch and Vorarlberg. According to information from the Federal Criminal Police Office , the development of the criminal in Austria is recorded by the police crime statistics (PKS). This database documents all the crimes indicated that are transmitted to the court. The static surveys serve both the strategic planning of measures to combat crime and the evaluation of changes in the security situation.

The PKS provides important insights, even if it does not cover the dark field of crime or the outcome of the legal proceedings. Factors such as the display behavior of the population, the intensity of police controls and legal developments significantly influence the crime statistics. Annual security reports created jointly by the Ministeries for the Interior and Justice offer detailed information on developments in the fight against crime and are crucial for political security planning.
