<p>Several so-called &#8220;religious brothers&#8221; have been injured, one seriously, after being held captive at a Vienna church, police say, <a href="https://www.euronews.com/2018/12/27/several-religious-brothers-injured-one-seriously-after-being-held-captive-at-vienna-church">Euronews</a> reports.</p>
<p>Two men, one carrying a gun, raided the Katholische Kirche Maria at around 13:30 local time.</p>
<p>Vienna police said they discovered the &#8220;shackled victims&#8221; shortly after 16h.</p>
<p>&#8220;One gunman threatened one of the brothers that live in the church with a gun,&#8221; Vienna police spokesperson Harald Soros told Euronews.</p>
<p>&#8220;The attacker told him to lay down on the floor and then he beat him with his fist and kicked him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Soros said that four of the man&#8217;s colleagues victims were also attacked. All victims were taken to nearby hospitals and the attackers are still at large.</p>
<p>Police say the size of the church complex means they cannot rule out if they are still at the site and have ruled out terrorism.</p>
