Excessive violence at a family celebration: police intervene and cause injuries!

There was a violent incident in Vienna on Saturday evening in which the police had to take action against several aggressive men. In the third district, an alleged family celebration that loudly got out of hand resulted in a violent brawl. When the officers from the Taubstummengasse police station arrived, a 38-year-old Austrian insulted the police officers and physically attacked them. This led to his preliminary arrest for attempted resistance to state power and serious bodily harm meinkreis.at reported.

The situation escalated when the man, despite his partner's efforts to calm him down, resisted officers and injured three police officers in the process. One officer suffered a ligament injury and was unable to continue her duties due to the injury. During his interrogation, the aggressive rioter said he remembered the argument with family members, but denied that he had attacked the police and claimed he might have been "kicking".

Both incidents underscore the challenges facing police in Vienna, particularly in confrontations that appear to take place under the influence of alcohol. The investigation is ongoing and the relevant authorities are working to clarify the circumstances of these threatening events.
