Incident at the bus station: Conflict escalates in Rauferei

In the night of Monday, the South Tyrolean Platz in Vienna-Wieden became the scene of an atypical dispute between a bus driver and a passenger. According to police spokesman Markus Dittrich, the bus ride, which led from Serbia to Vienna, was extremely conflict loading. The dispute finally culminated in a physical argument that ended with an arrest for both men.

The confrontation took place directly at the luggage output at the bus station, where the tensions between the 44-year-old Bus driver and a 54-year passenger boiled particularly up. According to reports, there were mutual threats that further escalated the situation. Police officers from the Taubengasse inspection were called for clarification.

Different representations of events

The descriptions of the two men deviate considerably. The 54-year-old, like the driver, is Serbian citizen and asserted that he has been treated condescendingly throughout the trip. In his testimony, the bus driver disadvantaged him when it comes to luggage. In order to protect himself from a feared attack by the driver, he behaved defensively. He vehemently denies the threats that are accused of him.

In contrast, the bus driver represents things differently. He reports that the passenger had behaved stubborn during the entire trip and repeatedly insulted it. The argument suddenly broke out and he was bitten by the man. This attack meant that the 54-year-old had to be taken to a hospital with a bite injury.

After the initial investigations by the police, both men were temporarily indicated at large. The exact background of the argument is still unclear because both parties present different versions of the events. The incident raises questions about the dynamics between drivers and passengers, especially in stressful situations.
