Yesterday afternoon, a man boarded the subway at the Spittelau station with a companion. At that time, an as-yet unidentified accordion player was playing in the carriage. The suspect initially threatened to kill him if he continued playing and then pulled out a knife, which he held in front of the victim. The musician then stopped playing and left the train at the Nußdorfer Straße station. Witnesses reported the incident to the police emergency number. Shortly thereafter, the suspect was stopped by police forces at the Alser Straße station, removed from the train, and searched. A knife was secured during the search. The 45-year-old suspect (citizen of Austria) was temporarily arrested and taken to a detention area. Investigations are being conducted on suspicion of coercion. After the interrogation, charges were filed without detention.
