Randalier threatens bouncers: police starts Taser!

Randalier threatens bouncers: police starts Taser!

On January 1, 2025, a threatening incident occurred at the Praterstern in Vienna when a strongly alcoholic 28-year-old Afghan citizen started a bouncer of a restaurant. Gegen 4 Uhr morgens wurde die Polizei von einer Gruppe Männer angelockt, die sich über den Ausschluss aus einem Lokal beschwerten. Die Beamten stellten schnell fest, dass die Männer erhebliche Mengen Alkohol konsumiert hatten, was zu einer aggressiven Atmosphäre führte. The 28-year-old seemed to be so annoyed by the security employee that he finally lifted a glass bottle lying on the floor, broke it and thus threatened the bouncer. The situation continued to escalate and left the police no other choice than to use a taser to immobilize him, as Krone.at reported.

Die Reaktion der Polizei erfolgte trotz mehrerer Aufforderungen an den Randalierer, sein aggressives Verhalten einzustellen. The police also found a small amount of addictive substances to the control of the man who was suspected of having intended to serve serious physical injury. After a medical examination in the hospital, the man was taken into police custody and then transferred to a judiciary at the order of the Vienna public prosecutor. This shows again how alcohol-related escalations can end in public dramatically and potentially dangerous, as with the total reporting of vienna.at and krone.at deutlich wird.
