In a dramatic incident in Vienna-Favoriten, a 42-year-old woman was attacked by her 23-year-old stepson on Saturday evening. He not only intimidated her with a kitchen knife, but also threatened to kill her. The situation quickly escalated when the police arrived and the young man continued to behave aggressively, according to the state police headquarters. Despite the attack, the woman managed to knock the knife out of his hand, which saved her life because the knife fell out of the window and onto the street.

The police reacted immediately and called the WEGA special operations team for support. The officers had to use force to open the apartment to arrest the perpetrator.
