The incident occurred around 8:45 PM on Favoritenstraße in Vienna. Until the arrival of the Vienna emergency services, the wounds of the 33-year-old were treated by police officers. Subsequently, paramedics took over the emergency medical care and transported the severely injured man to the trauma room of a hospital. Investigations suggest that the physical altercation was likely due to a past dispute. A 22-year-old, who according to his own statements wanted to mediate the dispute, was injured on the finger.

The alleged perpetrator fled the scene with two companions towards Keplerplatz. An immediate search was unsuccessful. Witnesses describe the fugitive suspect as follows: male, between 18 and 22 years old, dressed in black, curly hair, presumably Syrian. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office, South Branch, is investigating.

Relevant information regarding the identity or whereabouts of the suspect is being accepted (also anonymously) by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, South Branch, at the phone number 01–31310–57800.
