Gunshots, Allahu-akbar shouts: Video now also shows New Year’s Eve violence in Vienna, Austria

The riot footage in Berlin on New Year’s Eve shocked Europe. What many did not know until now: There were also irritating acts of violence in Vienna – a video documents gunshots, blasts and shouts of Allahu-akbar.

The massive deployment of 500 police officers in Vienna alone and the order of the police authorities to all officers to intervene immediately and consistently in case of first offences probably prevented an escalation of violence like in Berlin on New Year’s Eve in the federal capital.

However, a mobile phone video that has now been distributed on all social media channels shows that young men with a migration background also wanted to use the turn of the year for acts of violence in Vienna: At the underground station in the Großfeldsiedlung in the Floridsdorf district of Vienna, rubbish containers and stands of free newspapers were destroyed by throwing firecrackers, accompanied by repeated shouts of Allahu-akbar (” Allah is great”). And particularly disturbing: at the end of the video, one of the rioters pulls out a handgun and shoots at least six times into the air.

The responses on Twitter and Facebook are clear: “Vienna must not become Istanbul” or “What should I arm my children with so that they can travel safely in Vienna? Knives and pepper spray should no longer be enough.”

The Vienna Provincial Police Directorate stated to the newspaper Heute regarding the riots in Floridsdorf that there had been “a major police operation”. Nothing more.

  1. This Video should be sent to the editorian staffs of all European TV stations !
    Islam does mean: WAR !
    Just today a terrorist in Germany has been arrested – aiming to kill people by poisoning them.
    This video is showing very, very clear – and again and again – the real intention of Islam.
    Destroying and killing.
    In the “name of Allah”!
    Oh – God – help us!
