Knife attack in the Prater: Victim only knows perpetrators from seeing
In the heart of Vienna, a worrying incident occurred on Saturday evening, June 8, 2025. Around 9:15 p.m., a man with a stab wound in the leg area at the Calafatti area was found in the Vienna Prater. Emergency services from the Brigittenau city police command promptly and immediately provided first aid until the emergency services arrived, reports 5min .
The injured man was taken to a hospital as soon as possible after emergency medical care to receive the necessary treatment. Although the police immediately initiated a search for the alleged attacker, it has so far been unsuccessful. The victim could only indicate that he knows the unknown perpetrator "from seeing", which does not make the investigation easier, such as announced.
Investigations in the course
The police immediately started the investigation into the background of the crime. Unfortunately, both the victim and the persons present could not provide any specific information about the identity of the perpetrator. This is a challenge, since the circumstances of the knife attack have so far remained unclear. The emergency services hope for information from the population to track down this case.

These statistics capture all the crimes indicated and helps to analyze crime developments, explains the Federal Criminal Police Office . The PKS is continuously adapted to social changes and developments in criminal legislation and supports the strategic planning of police measures to combat crime.
