Brutal attack in Döbling: Teen attacked by moral guards”!
On Thursday evening there was a brutal attack on a 17-year-old Austrian in Hugo Wolf Park in Vienna. The teenager was attacked by several young men. How exxpress.at reported, this attack is related to the teenager's relationship with a 16-year-old Chechen girl.
The incident occurred around 10 p.m. when the group confronted the youth. One of the attackers struck him without warning and knocked him to the ground. As a result, an attacker pulled out a knife, demanded the victim's cell phone code and stole his cell phone. The perpetrators fled while the young man could hardly breathe.
Investigations by the State Criminal Police Office
After the victim returned to his assisted living facility, a caregiver informed the police. The 17-year-old said that the attackers were of Chechen origin and had previously threatened him in the subway. The group described itself as “moral guardians”.
The Vienna State Criminal Police Office (West branch) has already started the investigation and the suspects have been identified.

Background to the disputes
The police have an increased presence in areas such as the Jägerstrasse U6 station and are deploying special forces to counter violence between Chechens, Turks and Syrians. Colonel Dietmar Berger, deputy head of the investigative service, spoke about the current situation and the associated disputes. A dispute in Arthaber Park, in which a 30-year-old Austrian with Chechen roots was seriously injured, is considered to be the trigger for the latest conflicts.

The confrontations are not about drug-related crime, but about honor and supremacy in the city's parks. Despite multiple identity checks and arrests, the situation remains tense, as current reports confirm.
Although there are signs of peace negotiations between older members of the groups, the willingness to use violence among young people shows that the problem in Vienna continues.
