Rector Molish is accused by the Social Democrats of having allowed several hundred more supposed Fascist students to enter a rear gate when another affray occurred. Fighting also took place in the street. After the fight the police picked up hundred of sticks, brass knuckles and other weapons.
The University of Vienna was closed as a result of the riots.
