Raufhandel in Vienna: Aggressive guest attacks the police

Last Saturday evening, November 9, the police were called to the third district of Vienna. The reason for this was a buzzer that broke out in a restaurant during a loud family celebration. The officers of the Taubengasse police inspection and the police service dog unit arrived at the scene and immediately faced an aggressive local guest.

The 38-year-old Austrian, heavily alcoholic, insulted the police officers and behaved extremely provocatively. Despite his partner's attempts to calm him down, the situation continued to escalate, which led to a violent incident. The man was finally temporarily arrested due to attempted resistance to state power. But that's not all: during the arrest he was active and injured three police officers, of whom a civil servant suffered a painful ligament injury that forced her to stop her service.

Legal steps and statements by the perpetrator

The 38-year-old was not only reported on the basis of the resistance, but also because of suspicion of serious assault and tried serious assault in several cases. After his arrest, he said during the police interrogation that he remembered the dispute with his family members, but did not know anything about the disputes with the police. Nevertheless, he admitted to possibly "struggled". The police consider the incidents to be serious and will draw corresponding legal consequences.
