Man attacks sex workers - manhunt underway!

From the Intimcity editorial team | October 21, 2025

Dear Intimcity community,

in the world of eroticism and intimacy, safety should be the top priority - but a brutal incident in Vienna-Floridsdorf shows how quickly this can change. An unknown man recently attacked two sex workers in a local brothel and tried to rob them. The brave women defended themselves heroically and chased the perpetrator away with paws. The police are now searching intensively for him. We report exclusively on the details and give tips on how you can protect yourself.

The sequence of attacks: violence instead of lust

The nightmare began on September 12 at 8:30 pm. A man entered the room of a 46-year-old Chinese sex worker - not as a paying customer, but as an attacker. He brutally pushed her onto the bed, choked her and demanded money. The woman fought back fiercely, so the perpetrator fled without any loot.

Just three days later, on September 15 at 9:45 pm, he struck again - in the same establishment. This time, the 48-year-old female colleague was the victim. Again choking, blows and demands for robbery. But when the first woman rushed to help, the two turned the tables: with powerful hits with slippers (you know, the typical loafers from everyday life in brothels) they chased the guy away for good! A real heroine story that moves us to tears at Intimcity - and makes us think.

This is what the wanted man looks like: Distinctive scar gives him away!

The Vienna police have published a clear mugshot. The perpetrator is:

  • Approx. 1.85 m tall
  • 30-35 years old
  • Short dark hair
  • Most striking features: A long scar over the entire left side of the face

Do you know anyone who looks like this? Submit a tip! The Vienna State Office of Criminal Investigation (North Branch) will accept tips on 01-31310-67800 - anonymously possible. Every tip counts to ban these types from our streets.
