Alarming cases of domestic violence have again become known in Vienna.

The desperate woman escaped to her neighbors where she sought help while police arrived in response to an emergency call. The 46-year-old perpetrator was clearly intoxicated, which was confirmed by a later test with a blood alcohol level of 2.7, and was immediately taken into custody. He now has to answer for bodily harm and dangerous threats, while a no-approach ban has been issued against him meinkreis.at reported.

Similar dramatic scenes took place shortly later in another apartment in Vienna. A 34-year-old woman was attacked and beaten by her 54-year-old partner for hours until alert neighbors called the police.
