Austria: Man Hacked to Death with Machetes in Vienna

Last night in Vienna, an unidentified man was attacked by several suspects, at least one of whom was armed with a machete. The victim died of his injuries in the hospital. A subsequent search of the area resulted in one arrest, an Algerian chap who jumped into the Danube Canal when he saw the officers approaching.

Chalk up one more victim to Europe’s insane immigration policies.

Murder alarm! Man dies after machete attack in Vienna

A man was attacked with a machete by several persons on Thursday night in Vienna-Brigittenau- the victim did not survive.

After a machete attack on Thursday night, there is now the sad certainty. The victim died of his serious injuries in the hospital.

As “Heute” reported, witnesses alerted the police emergency number around 00:50 (12:50 am) that a man on Jaegerstrasse (street) was attacked by several persons with blows and machetes. Officers from the city police teams in Brigittenau were on the scene within minutes and found the bleeding victim in the area of the U-Bahn (subway) exit. The police immediately provided first aid measures before the injured man was taken to a hospital by Vienna emergency personnel. 

Jumped into the Danube Canal

The city police command (Brigittenau), the police service dog unit, the WEGA, and the reserve unit participated in the immediately-initiated large scale search for the perpetrators. The police were able to locate one suspect in the area of the Danube Canal. When the man saw the officers, he immediately jumped into the Danube Canal. 

The suspect was rescued and arrested by the reserve unit near the Peace Bridge. He is a 24-year-old man from Algeria. The identity of the victim could as yet not be established. Also, the background of the bloody act is at this point, the object of police investigation.

“Must be deported”

The Vienna chief of the Freedom Party Austria, City Counselor Dominik Nepp, once again demanded a strong signal in the direction of violent perpetrators and foreign criminals. “The regular acts of violence by non-Austrians are traced back to the lax treatment of foreign criminals. Instead of setting clear signals, in which such criminals are immediately deported, too often, unfortunately, they are treated with a slap on the wrist.” Only when we finally reform our legal system and show zero tolerance, can the ever-increasing spiral of violence be stopped.”

And further: “Thanks to the never-ending, overly-friendly immigration policy of Social Democrat Party Austria mayor Ludwig, Vienna is becoming more and more an Eldorado for criminal immigrants from all over the world.  This must finally be stopped.” Nepp demands an “immediate immigration stop and once against the immediate deportation of criminals.
