The incident occurred near the Viktor Adler market, a busy area that is regularly frequented by many people.

A pedestrian described that he was threatened with the knife by the perpetrator, but fortunately he was able to get to safety and communicate the police.

The 25-year-old had hit her vehicle with his fist and shouted loudly, which made the situation even more dangerous. Due to his aggressive behavior, he finally had to choose a van as the destination of his anger, where he threatened the driver directly with the knife.
