A Syrian migrant living in Austria has been hailed as a hero after he rammed his car into an attacker, bringing down a radicalised assailant who had killed one teenager and left five others injured.

The stabbing, described by Austria’s interior minister as having been carried out by a Syrian man who was legally living in the country and who had become radicalised by the Islamic State group, happened on Saturday in the southern Austrian city of Villach.


As the country mourned, many hailed the bravery of Alaaeddin al-Halabi, a food delivery driver who left Syria in 2015 and who had been driving past the area on Saturday when he noticed a commotion. He slowed down, he told Reuters, “because there were many people, some running, some scared, and some were shouting for help”.

It was then that he noticed that one of the people at the scene had a knife. “I immediately understood what was happening – there were people on the ground bleeding, and this person was waving the knife in a threatening manner.”

Al-Halabi sprang into action. “I immediately drove toward him and hit him with my car. The good thing is that the impact wasn’t too strong, thank God,” he said. “I mean, the goal of hitting him with the car was just to neutralise him or stop what he was doing. The goal wasn’t to harm anyone.”

In the confusion that followed, al-Halabi said he was shocked to see some in the crowd turn on him, telling the newspaper Kleinen Zeitung that he locked himself into his car as some people began to hit his vehicle. Speaking to Reuters, he said: “People attacked me after the incident – people on the street thought I was carrying out an attack like what happened in Germany.”

The attack came days after a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker drove a car into a trade union demonstration in neighbouring Germany, killing a two-year-old girl and her mother as well as injuring 37 others. It was the fifth high-profile attack involving migrants to Germany in the past nine months, leading politicians to seize on migration as a talking point before snap elections on 23 February.

Saturday’s attack in Austria killed a 14-year-old boy and wounded five others, all of whom were believed to have been targeted randomly.
