A 26-year-old Syrian man died after being seriously injured in a dispute involving several people in Vienna late on Monday, ORF reported. He was found shortly after midnight in a courtyard on Ullmannstraße in the Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus district.
Witnesses immediately called emergency services, but paramedics were unable to save him. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office is investigating on suspicion of murder, the Vienna State Police Directorate said on Tuesday.
Police suspect a possible link to the drug milieu, but the exact circumstances remain under investigation, police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger told the APA news agency.
The man had earlier been involved in a confrontation with several people near Gaudenzdorfer Gürtel and fled towards Ullmannstraße.
