Young person with a knife: Police intervene and prevent escape!

On Saturday evening there was an explosive incident in the 10th district of Vienna when the police checked a group of young people. The officers were on Wienerbergstrasse around 10 p.m. when they noticed that one of the boys was handling a knife. They immediately stopped and wanted to speak to the young people.

The 14-year-old Austrian, who has Turkish roots, obviously wanted to increase his status within the group. During the stop, he punched a police officer in the upper body and tried to escape. But the officers were quickly able to hold him back and temporarily arrest him. During the subsequent search, they found a butterfly knife and brass knuckles, which were confiscated, while the young people initially denied having a knife with them Pulse24 reported.

As a result of his behavior, he was charged with resisting state authority and possession of a prohibited weapon and remains at large, but a provisional weapons ban has also been issued against him oe24 reported. This incident again raises questions about safety on the streets and highlights the challenges police face during such checks.
