Knock attack in the Prater: Man fights for his life after knife stabbing

on Saturday evening, June 7, 2025, there was a violent incident in Vienna Prater around 9:15 p.m. A man was found on the Calafattipatz with a stab injury in the leg area. Officials from the Brigittenau city police command immediately alerted first aid until the emergency services arrived and took the injured to a hospital. No information is currently known about the severity of the injury, as these have not yet been published.

The police immediately started investigations on site. Neither the victim nor the persons present were able to provide relevant information on the crime or the alleged perpetrator. It turned out that the injured man knew the attacker "from seeing", which stimulates the investigators for further considerations. An immediately initiated search has so far been unsuccessful.

Investigations and backgrounds

The background of the crime is currently unclear and the investigation by the police is running in several directions. While the circumstances of the incident continue to be analyzed, the total situation in Vienna has been shaped by interesting development in recent years.

According to an analysis of the crime statistics, the number of violent crimes displayed in Vienna increased by over 4,000 compared to ten years ago. The total number of violent offenses displayed is currently 29,485. Nevertheless, the crime rate in violent crimes remains constant, while the city has grown continuously in the past ten years.

The latest events raise questions about public security. Despite the increase in violent offenses, the statistics show that violence is not the biggest problem in the city. This indicates that despite increasing population, the security situation remains relatively stable.

The police increase their efforts to bring light to this incident, and the investigation is in full swing. The population is asked for caution and attention in order to recognize potential dangers and behave accordingly. The situation will continue to be observed and updates for the investigation are published as soon as there are new information.
