Vienna terrified by mystery bludgeoner
Viennese Police released an artist's impression of a man suspected of four attacks in the past weeks. A 5,000 Euro reward has been offered for information leading to his arrest.
The latest suspected victim of a serial attacker is a 13 year old boy, who was bludgeoned from behind and robbed of 10 Euros in a vicious attack on Saturday.
This most recent attack is thought to be the fourth victim. Since the end of March, three women have been assaulted and robbed in the same way, each being left seriously injured.
The weapon being used is so far unidentified, but is likely made of metal and may be brass knuckles, similar to those pictured below.
