Family dispute in Simmering: man threatens mother with airsoft gun
In a shocking turn of events in Simmering, a family dispute spiraled completely out of control on Friday night. A 30-year-old man who was heavily intoxicated is said to have first choked his 55-year-old mother and then threatened her with an airsoft gun that looked deceptively similar to a real weapon. The incident occurred in a bar and the situation quickly escalated, prompting the police to respond.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the uniformed officers reported a serious incident that had occurred between mother and son. The man had choked his mother and then fled after intimidating her with the weapon. The police reacted immediately, but also had to note during the investigation that the suspect continued to try to contact his mother.
The escape and arrest of the suspect
The subsequent check revealed that the man had a blood alcohol content of 1.4 per mille at the time of the incident, while his mother had an impressive 2.34 per mille. Given the seriousness of the incident, the Vienna public prosecutor's office decided to commit the man to a prison. In addition, a ban on entry and approach was issued against him, which underlines the dangerous nature of his actions.
A worrying point remains that the airsoft pistol had not yet been found at the time of reporting. The man has already faced charges of dangerous threats, bodily harm and violating an existing weapons ban.
The situation raises questions about safety precautions and how alcohol-related violence is handled. Such incidents not only pose a challenge to the authorities, but also serve as a reminder of the dangers that can arise from a combination of alcohol and family conflicts.
