Aggressive assault in Vienna-Hernals: Man resisted arrest

Last Saturday there was an incident in Vienna-Hernals that put the police on alert. A 28-year-old man, whose origin comes from Nigeria, is accused of putting an unknown woman on the face of an open street. The argument that led to this violent act was observed by passers -by who immediately informed the police.

When the emergency services arrived, the suspect was "extremely aggressive" according to the police statements. While the officers wanted to find his identity, there was another incident: the man pushed his elbow against the face of a police officer. Thereupon it was necessary to use pepper spray to control the situation.

Details on the violations of the officials

The argument occurred on the Hernals belt, where the 28-year-old was to be arrested. In the resistance he made, he injured two civil servants. However, these were able to continue their service and remained operational after they had received the necessary medical care.

The suspect was finally accommodated in an arrest area, where he is waiting for further legal steps. The rapid escalation of the situation raises questions about the assessment of threats in public space and reminds of how important the fast reaction of the police workers is.
