Four boys between the ages of 15 and 17 were arrested Sunday night after they allegedly surrounded a group of youths in central Vienna and brutally robbed a 17-year-old. The youngest of the gang tried to escape – he ran towards Urania. Just two warning shots from a police officer’s service weapon caused the 15-year-old to stop.
The robbery took place around 1 a.m., police said on Sunday. At Franz-Josefs-Kai, patrol officers were approached by several youths because one of them had just been robbed.
Victim threatened and suffocated
The group had celebrated in a bar and were followed by the suspects on their way home. The adolescent suspects focused their violent actions on a 17-year-old, who was harassed, suffocated and threatened. In the end, the victim surrendered all his money.
