Red alert at St Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna: a 29-year-old Syrian went berserk and threatened to slit the throats of two members of staff with a screwdriver. He was caught. The migrant had already disturbed a mass the day before.
On Sunday, the Syrian had already disturbed mass at St Stephen’s Cathedral, Austria’s most important place of worship. He returned the following day – this time armed with a screwdriver. He is said to have used the tool to suggest “slitting the guards’ throats”.
“The motive is still unclear. It has not yet been possible to question him due to his aggressive behaviour,” said the provincial police headquarters on Tuesday. He was taken to prison.
