The victim is said to be a 14-year-old boy.

A 42-year-old man who works for a food delivery company witnessed the incident from his car.

He drove toward the suspect and helped to prevent things from getting worse, police spokesperson Rainer Dionisio told Austria’s public broadcaster ORF.

Police said it wasn’t clear whether the suspect acted on his own and therefore continued to search for potential further suspects.
