Dispute over cell phone escalates: stabbing in Klagenfurt apartment
A dispute over an unpaid cell phone resulted in a dangerous drama in an apartment in Klagenfurt. The incident occurred on Monday when a 31-year-old man had a heated argument with the 22-year-old shopper. How orf.at reported that during this argument the seller pulled out a knife and threatened to kill the younger man.
In the midst of this tense situation, the 22-year-old, despite the threat, gave his ATM card and PIN to a 28-year-old witness in the apartment, albeit intentionally with a wrong code. He saw his chance and secretly contacted his brother via a messenger service to alert the police. The exact circumstances of the confrontation were investigated in detail by the police, and officers arrived at the scene shortly afterwards, as did the Carinthian crown reported.
Police intervene
The police were able to temporarily arrest the 31-year-old. A ban on entry and approach as well as a temporary ban on weapons were immediately issued against him. The public prosecutor subsequently decided to release the man. This dramatic turn of events highlights the extreme measures that can sometimes result from financial disputes.
