Officers from the Vienna-Favoriten city police command were alerted due to a dispute.
When they arrived at the scene, a loud argument could already be heard from an apartment. After knocking on the door, a woman opened who claimed to have been beaten by her husband. She also reported that her husband had pulled her hair and bumped her head against the head of their six-month-old son. He is also said to have threatened her with death.
Upon further questioning, the 48-year-old woman stated that her husband had allegedly beaten her several times. The victim suffered multiple injuries to the face, but declined medical treatment from the Vienna professional rescue service. Her six-month-old son, who was also apparently slightly injured on the head, received emergency medical care on site. A restraining and approach ban, as well as a temporary weapons ban, were issued against the 34-year-old suspect (nationality: Iraq). The suspect was temporarily arrested and reported on suspicion of multiple bodily harm and attempted serious coercion.
The Vienna police are the point of contact for people who perceive violence or are victims of violence themselves. The police emergency call is available at any time under the number 133. In addition, the crime prevention department of the Vienna State Criminal Police Office offers personal consultations under the hotline 0800 216346.
