The video that has now surfaced is too cruel to show it in full – the eXXpress only brings a few scenes from it to confirm the authenticity of the recordings from Klagenfurt. The 41 seconds of the short film make it clear: This was not a “knife attack”, but a heinous attempt at knife murder on the open street.
Without warning, the Armenian (28) stabbed the Carinthian (62) from behind with a knife, who was about to push her bike across the street. In the first shock, the victim turns around, wants to ward off the next stitches: But again and again the perpetrator rams the knife from above into the woman’s neck and shoulder area.

In a defensive fight with the knife perpetrator, the Carinthian woman falls to the ground – but the Armenian does not let go of his victim, he continues to stab the woman. Then he pulls her along by the collar of her coat and stands behind her – these are images that are reminiscent of the harrowing execution scenes that IS terrorists filmed.
Only 40 seconds after the start of the knife attack does a passer-by jump at the knife offender from the side – this cannot be seen exactly on the video. The man lets go of his badly injured victim.

After a short escape, the Armenian turns himself in to the police. The severely injured Carinthian needs emergency surgery immediately – it has not yet been announced whether she is out of danger. The perpetrator may have chosen his victim at random.
The video of the bloody attempted murder is already circulating on social media platforms. The comments below are clear. In any case, the term “knife attack” used by the media is described by many users as “annoying trivialisation”.
