The visit to the Villach Kirtag ended with a terrible experience for a 15-year-old youth. Instead of being able to indulge in all the joys of the folk festival with friends, he became the target of a rowdy Syrian of the same age. He attacked him with a knife. The boy then had to be treated by paramedics.

Dispute escalates: Syrian simply stabs

As the police reported, a young person was the victim of a knife attack on Tuesday evening at the Villach church day. The act was preceded by a verbal argument. The Syrian boy then pulled out a knife and stabbed in the direction of his opponent. He suffered minor injuries.

Knife thrown away – perpetrator confessed

After a brief search, the 15-year-old from Syria was arrested and taken to the police station on Villach’s main square. The witnesses recognized him immediately during a confrontation. During the interrogation, the teenager confessed to the crime and also showed the officers the place where he got rid of the knife. The reason for his dangerous attack: He stated that he had been “provoked” by the victim. The murder weapon – a knife – was seized. The Syrian was reported.

More imported violence: Not an isolated case

Unfortunately, the fact is that this was not an isolated case, but that imported violence has increased again in recent weeks. For example, an Afghan (23) who is said to have attacked and injured his 24-year-old Austrian partner with a knife in an Innsbruck apartment on Friday evening was interrogated by investigators from the Tyrol State Criminal Police Office on Sunday. A 35 centimeter long kitchen knife, which was used as a murder weapon, was seized during the bloody deed.
