Kidnapping in the Waldviertel: man flees and alarmed police

A worrying incident in the Waldviertel caused excitement on Thursday. A man from the Zwettl district was reportedly kidnapped by three people after he was put together and dragged into a car. However, this dramatic incident does not end in the disaster: the injured party was able to flee when the vehicle stops and immediately alerted the police, who reacted quickly.

The investigators were on site on Friday morning and carried out arrest in Waidhofen at the Thaya. Three suspects were arrested, while the police have to clarify further details of the incident. It is already known that the trio wanted to squeeze money from the victim. They also threatened to publish a possibly embarrassing video.

The circumstances of the kidnapping

After the victim was dragged into a vehicle, it was able to escape in time, which led to a quick police operation. The man was taken to the hospital injured, but his escape prevented worse. The exact motive and the relationships between the participants have so far been unclear and are examined by the investigators.

A spokesman for the police confirmed the arrests, but stated that the investigation would continue and made no further statements about the incident or the investigation.

The events of Thursday evening not only have the victim, but the entire region excited. Due to the severity of the allegations, further information is expected if the police research has been completed. The background of the case is still unclear and the authorities are working to clarify all the details.
