The professional rescue team alerted police Wednesday night when they found a 45-year-old man in a single-family home in Vienna-Penzing who was said to have been held in a basement compartment by his mother for months. According to the police report, his health condition is said to be “extremely poor”. According to a rescue spokesperson, the man was dehydrated.

The case started because the mother herself called to the rescue on Wednesday afternoon. It is said that she indicated to the emergency call that her son is complaining of pain. Paramedics found the man in the basement where he is said to have mold. The hygienic conditions were catastrophic.

Suspicion of arrest

On the way to the hospital, the 45-year-old man testified, according to police, that his 77-year-old mother had locked him in the basement compartment since April. The State Criminal Investigation Office is currently investigating the woman on suspicion of deprivation of liberty. However, the accusation has not yet been proven, said police spokesman Daniel Fürst. It has not yet been clarified if there are witnesses such as neighbors or other neighbors of the house.

According to the prince, the man has not yet been questioned due to his poor health. The mother has also not been interviewed yet. The background to the act was not yet completely clear on Thursday morning.
