Not only this attack causes a sensation in the city. On Thursday, a prisoner, who had previously served a long prison sentence, was arrested in Vienna Mariahilf two weeks ago from the Graz-Karlau prison. The 51-year-old man had used his escape to threaten a 51-year-old passer-by with a knife and steal her cash and your cell phone. The criminal record was only released from prison for a visit to the dentist and took the opportunity to escape, as reported in the Kurier.at. His stay near an addiction aid facility could have provided him with help.

The police managed to hold the suspect a few hours after the attack near the Margaret belt U4 station. When arresting, not only the murder weapon was secured, but also the prey. The investigators are now examining whether the 51-year-old is responsible for further crimes in the past, and are looking for connections to similar incidents with unknown perpetrators in this area.
