In a press release, the special “track” commission that was set up provides information on the current status of the investigation.
Accordingly, a physical altercation occurred around 6 a.m. in the Hafnermarkt area.
In the course of the argument, a 23-year-old man was severely injured in the upper body with a knife by an initially unknown person.
The man was injured, but his life is not in danger.
The lifeless man was found around 8:30 a.m. near the train station.
He had injuries that indicated physical violence by unknown persons.

Extensive measures to secure evidence were carried out and a large number of witnesses were questioned.
"According to the current status of the investigation, it could be verified that the 23-year-old injured man and the man who was later found lifeless knew each other," the press release says.
It can also be assumed that both people were involved in the physical altercation around 6 a.m. at Hafnermarkt.
"In this context, it is very likely that the person who was later killed inflicted the knife wound on the 23-year-old's upper body and then fled the scene," the officials continued.
So far, it has not been possible to clarify where the person who later died was after the argument at Hafnermarkt.
The events that led to the death of the young man are also the subject of the investigation.
