Manhunt drama in Gmunden: prisoner discovered under the bed!

An exciting drama unfolded in Gmunden: A 35-year-old man who was in escape mode was caught by the police after a large-scale manhunt. At first his mother claimed she didn't know where her son was. But the officers remained persistent and searched several restaurants in the area. Ultimately, the wanted man made nice with the police officer by trying to escape with risky driving maneuvers. The operation led to a comprehensive search operation being initiated in the Salzkammergut. It turned out that the getaway driver in question, a woman who was heavily intoxicated, was also unreasonable and reacted aggressively towards the officers when they searched her house. The surprising catch came when the police finally arrested the wanted man, who had been hiding under her bed, and brought him back to the prison ORF reported.

Dangerous job in Berlin

The dangers of the police profession are particularly evident in large cities: Last year in Berlin, 1,787 police officers were injured while on duty, with nine of them suffering serious injuries. The work is risky and yet numerous young people like Britta Höffken, a 25-year-old police superintendent who is active in the radio car emergency service in Prenzlauer Berg, are involved. Responsible for around 105,000 residents, their unit is required to carry out an average of 42.8 missions every day in places where life is vibrant - and that is often an enormous challenge. Those participating in the party scene must also guarantee the safety of citizens, such as Berliner Zeitung reports.
