A 49-year-old woman was arrested in Vienna after police were called following an alleged knife attack during a domestic dispute in a private apartment. The incident happened on 12 November 2026 at 17:10 in the 21st district. During an argument with her husband, the woman allegedly took a knife and attacked him. The man managed to dodge the stabbing, locked himself in the bedroom and called the police emergency number. Officers from the Floridsdorf City Police Command arrived at the Mehrparteienhaus and found the woman. Police temporarily detained her on scene and seized a kitchen knife with a 17 cm blade from inside the apartment. The husband was not physically injured and refused treatment by a rescue service. Police later determined the woman was intoxicated, with an alcohol level of 1.3 per mille. A ban on entering the home and approaching the man was issued, along with a temporary weapons ban. By order of the Vienna public prosecutor’s office, she was reported on suspicion of dangerous threats and released pending further proceedings.
