Knife attack in Austria: a Hungarian man attacked his bosses on the motorway
A 56-year-old Hungarian man is under suspicion for attacking his bosses with a knife at a petrol station along an Austrian motorway on Saturday.
Reportedly, the two Hungarian owners of a transportation company drove from Hungary to the site for a scheduled meeting with their 56-year-old employee, concerning alleged internal disputes, as per an article in Heute.
However, the meeting did not turn out as expected by the father-and-son duo. Amidst the altercation, the younger of the bosses left their car in the petrol station’s car park, only to be struck and stabbed by the suspect wielding a knife.
Noticing the incident, the elder owner sprang into action. Allegedly, the suspect yelled at the older man before stabbing him. The 34-year-old man then rushed to his father’s aid and hit the suspect with his torch.
The suspect was not alone; he and his son got into the truck and fled north, prompting the petrol station attendant to alert the authorities. The police eventually apprehended the 56-year-old man, and the two victims were taken to hospital.
The 62-year-old man suffered severe injuries and had emergency surgery overnight, but his life is no longer in danger. The 34-year-old man sustained minor injuries and was discharged following treatment.
Upon interrogation, the suspect admitted to the crime.
