Man in Vienna threatens to kill wife with axe

A man in Vienna threatened his wife with an axe during an argument on Friday in Ottakring. The conflict reportedly stemmed from a disagreement over an upcoming overnight stay at their shared home. The 53-year-old North Macedonian had previously brought an axe into the apartment and leaned it against the wall to intimidate his 52-year-old wife. The woman managed to escape and called the police around 6 PM. Officers from the Wattgasse Inspection took the man into temporary custody with support from WEGA officers. The axe was secured, and the man received a ban on entry and approach, along with a provisional weapons ban.
