Intoxicated Caregiver Allegedly Attacks Elderly Man and Son in Vienna

A 41-year-old caregiver in Vienna is facing serious charges after allegedly attacking a 70-year-old man and his son while under the influence of alcohol. Police reported that the incident occurred on Monday evening in the Donaustadt district.

The alleged assault began around 10:45 p.m. when a dispute arose, reportedly because the caregiver was repeatedly drinking alcohol within the family's residence. During the altercation, the caregiver is accused of emptying and throwing beer cans on the floor.

The 70-year-old man's 45-year-old son intervened to help his father and was also allegedly attacked by the woman. The caregiver, identified as a Romanian national, reportedly threatened the son, warning that her brothers would kill him.

Authorities reported that the woman had a blood alcohol content of nearly three per mille at the time of the incident. She was temporarily detained and faces multiple charges, including administrative offenses for noise, breach of public order, aggressive behavior, and violations of immigration laws. A restraining and contact ban has also been issued against her.
