40-year-old ignores house ban and attacks police officers!
On November 19, 2025, an incident occurred in a bar on Weihburggasse in Vienna that attracted the attention of the police. At around 2:40 p.m., the Vienna police were alerted after a 40-year-old woman, who was banned from the restaurant, entered the restaurant despite this order and refused to leave. According to vienna.at, the woman showed aggressive behavior, shouting and gesturing towards the staff, while ignoring multiple warnings.
The situation escalated when the police arrived. The woman resisted the officers violently and even tried to bite their leg. Eventually, physical force had to be used to arrest them. Due to her aggressive behavior, a complaint was filed against her for making noise and aggressive behavior.
Increase in aggressive incidents
This incident is not isolated. Similar aggressive behavior occurred in Vienna-Brigittenau on April 30, 2024, when a 30-year-old man alerted the police during a loud argument with his father. When police arrived, they found injuries to both men's faces. Here too, the 30-year-old showed an aggressive attitude, clenched his fists and remained uncooperative despite repeated warnings. He was eventually arrested after injuring an officer. The [Polizei-Nachrichten](https://polizei-nachrichten.at/wien/aggressives- Behavior-4/) reported further threats during his detention in the hospital.
These incidents are in the context of the general development of crime in Austria, as recorded in the police crime statistics (PKS). The PKS has been recording all reported crimes since 2001 and serves as the basis for planning criminal police measures. It shows a comprehensive development of criminal activity and supports both preventive and repressive crime control. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office, social phenomena are also taken into account when interpreting the numbers, but the dark area of crime is not recorded.
The incidents in Vienna illustrate the challenges that the police often face, especially when dealing with aggressive people. Room for maneuver and strategies are continually adjusted in order to adequately address the various situations and ensure the safety of the population.
