A 20-year-old man was found with multiple stab wounds after a fight involving around ten people at Franz-Josefs-Kai in Vienna’s Innere Stadt district. Witnesses called the police shortly before 8.15pm on 7 November 2026 after observing the altercation between youths. When officers arrived, the fight had already ended. The man was discovered with several bleeding stab injuries in the buttocks area. Police provided first aid on site and kept treating him until the arrival of Berufsrettung Wien. According to the injured man, a group of teenagers aged 16 to 18 allegedly attacked him. Police began a swift immediate search for those involved, but it was initially unsuccessful. The 20-year-old was taken to hospital after emergency treatment. During the deployment, he became increasingly uncooperative, and police accompanied the ambulance transport. Investigations are being handled by the Kriminalreferat Innere Stadt. Police ask for tips, including anonymous information, by phone at 01/31310-99 21810.
