Vienna is grappling with a knife crime problem. In the wake of four stabbing attacks over the weekend in the Austrian capital, one of which took the life of an Iranian, FPÖ leader Dominik Nepp has called for a security summit.
On Sunday night, May 8th, in the fourth knife attack in just 48 hours, a 15-year old Syrian national—together with another unidentified assailant—stabbed a 19-year old man who was with his 20-year old girlfriend at the time.
As the couple walked to a bus stop, two young males came towards them, and seemed to follow them. Soon after, the pair started to whistle after the victim and his girlfriend.
