Shots may have been fired, but at 7:45 p.m. it was still unclear whether the injuries were actually caused by a handgun or a knife. A police spokeswoman was also unable to provide any information to the APA about the background to the altercation.
The men were given first aid on the spot by the Vienna rescue service and then taken to hospital. According to the police, both men were seriously injured, but their lives were not in danger. The Vienna State Office of Criminal Investigation has taken over the investigation, and a large police presence was still on duty that evening.
The bars on Yppenplatz were very busy that evening, probably because of the final of the European Football Championship. The mood among the visitors was calm despite the large police presence. The view of the crime scene was obscured by police cars.
