Alsergrund: Drug sale ends in violence against civil police officers

In the night from Friday to Saturday there was an incident in Vienna-Alsergrund that attracted the attention of the police. A 29-year-old man actively offered civil police officers for sale. He came up with the officials and called provocative: "People, do you need what? I have the best goods." Such offers are not only illegal, but also dangerous for public security.

The incident fealed quickly when the police were recognized as such. Instead of cooperating, the man reacted aggressively. He put a shock against the upper body to one of the officials. In the heated argument, the man tried to avoid control and began to beat and kick. This meant that two police officers were injured, although one of them could not continue their service.

The immediate reaction of the civil police officers was essential to control the situation. Such incidents show the potential dangers with which the police are faced with while doing their work to protect society. The police have already said that it will take legal action against the 29-year to ensure public security.

The background and the motivations of the man are still unclear. Nevertheless, this incident underlines the need for a close observation of the drug scene in urban areas. Such aggressive sales attempts show how challenging the situation for the security forces is. The civil police will continue to strengthen their presence in parts of the city in order to counteract such incidents and to protect the security of the citizens.
