A 75-year-old woman visited a police station on Sunday, September 20, to report a serious robbery and a dangerous threat. According to the police, her 47-year-old son allegedly pulled her by the hair and threatened her with a knife at her residence in Vienna-Neubau.

The man is then said to have taken 40 euros in cash from his mother. Before leaving the apartment, he allegedly threatened to kill his brother and his own girlfriend.

Officers from the Urban-Loritz-Platz police station then initiated search measures. The suspect was eventually provisionally arrested at his residence in Vienna-Leopoldstadt.

A restraining order and a preliminary weapons ban were issued against the 47-year-old.

By order of the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office, the man was taken to a correctional facility.
