Tragic incident in Vienna: violence and a fatal fall
A shocking incident in Vienna shook the entire city. On Friday evening, a 58-year-old woman was seriously injured in her apartment on Wieden, allegedly by a 50-year-old Italian who had been living with her for some time. As the state police headquarters announced on Saturday, shortly before his planned return trip to Italy, the man was confronted by the woman with suspicions that he had stolen her cash. This led to a violent attack while neighbors became alarmed and called for help.
The situation quickly escalated: After the woman threatened to report the man, he attacked her, causing her to suffer serious head injuries. The neighbors heard her cries for help and immediately called the police. Despite knocking on the door, the man did not respond, eventually forcing police to use a ram to open the door.
Drama during police operations
When the officers entered the apartment, they found the man already on a window sill. As a result, he fell into the depths and died at the scene of the accident despite immediate attempts to resuscitate him. An autopsy of the deceased suspect was initiated by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, while the 58-year-old woman was taken to a hospital. Her condition was listed as stable, but an interview was not immediately possible due to her injuries.
The police have started further investigations to clarify the exact circumstances of the incident. It is important to provide help in such crisis situations.
