Just hours after a 35-year-old man was doused with a burning liquid and set on fire in Vienna-Alsergrund, police have now released a photo of the suspect. The chase was taking effect and the man, allegedly her boyfriend or ex-boyfriend, called the emergency number on his own. He then allowed WEGA to arrest him without resistance in Vienna-Donaustadt.
The man is said to be a 47-year-old Austrian. He and the victim likely had an on-and-off relationship. The seriously injured person was able to tell the emergency room doctor that the alleged assailant was the woman’s boyfriend or ex-boyfriend.
