Young driver without a driver's license: Wild chase in Vienna-Meidling

A shocking incident occurred last Wednesday in Vienna-Meidling when an 18-year-old man gave a dangerous chase with the police under the influence of drugs and without a driver's license. The incident began when police officers noticed a car that crossed and tried to stop the vehicle with a yellow light. Instead of stopping, however, the driver went through the accelerator pedal and fled towards Breitenfurter Straße.

The inappropriate reaction of the driver led to a daring journey; He drove with excessive speed and disregarded numerous red traffic lights. During the escape it turned out that the license plates of the vehicle were registered as stolen. Both uninvolved cars and passers -by were significantly endangered by the ruthless driving behavior, many could only avoid clashes.

From this threatening situation, a police officer had to hand in several shots from his service weapon to protect himself and others. Finally, the officials managed to stop the fleeting car in Kaltenbäckgasse.

The driver could be arrested without resistance. During the search of the vehicle, the police discovered several bags with suspicious cocaine and a shotgun. An official doctor found that the 18-year-old was under the influence of drugs. After the interrogation, he was released at the order of the Vienna public prosecutor's office.

Notes on self -defense were the reason for the police's firearm. According to a police spokesman, the investigative and complaint office was informed about possibly available abuse allegations. It is currently being examined how many shots have been handed over and the entire situation remains the subject of the investigation. Fortunately, nobody was injured.
