Meidlinger train station: the last suspect after a bloody attack

In summer, the Meidling station became the scene of a bloody argument that is in the context of a "gang war" in Vienna. In this incident, which caused a lot of excitement, several people were attacked, which caused the authorities to initiate comprehensive investigations. The police recently announced that all suspects were now identified and the last suspects could be caught.

The attacks that stretched over several districts, especially in Brigittenau and Meidling, were part of a intensifying conflict between rival groups. In particular, the bloody incidents in the Anton-Kummerer Park, at the Hanovermarkt and Klosterneuburger Straße contributed to the dramatic escalation. The aggression finally culminated at the Meidling train station, where an assault took place that put the city in the grip of a kind of fear.

The investigation and their successes

The police quickly had the suspects in their sights, and the investigation has steadily received new knowledge since then. So far, over 20 people have been identified as suspicious. The close cooperation between the investigators and the public played a crucial role, as police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger explained. Thanks to the widespread photo recordings, witnesses were able to provide valuable information that led to the arrest of two of the five men who recently went to the police after the pictures were published.

The brutal assault itself occurred on a Sunday evening in July and was completely unexpected for the victims. Five people suffered serious injuries from the use of weapons such as knives, hammering and whipping. It is believed that the attackers had coordinated the attack in advance to meet their rival groups.

In a further step, the police took back the image publications from the suspects on November 21, 2023 after all the people they were looking for were taken. Interrogates from the arrested suspects are currently taking place, while the investigation has not yet been completed despite these progress. The further details on the procedure of the Viennese police on this matter are observed closely to ensure security in the region.

These incidents not only raise questions about security in public space, but also show how important the cooperation between the population and the security authorities is. The last suspects could be found through information from the company and this may contribute to a calm of the tense situation in the affected districts. However, the Vienna population, which helped with the Enlightenment, remains vigilant with further developments in the "gang war" that is burdening the city.

As part of the ongoing reporting, the latest findings on this topic are also on www.meinbezirk.at released so that the public remains informative and currently informed about the situation.
