Dangerous operation for police officers in Rangersdorf in the Spittal an der Drau district: After an accident on Sunday, a drunk driver who was caught stabbed the patrol car with a knife and then attacked the officers. Inactivated with irritating gas. To arrest!
Just before 11pm on Sunday, police officers were on patrol when they spotted a vehicle perpendicular to the council road in Lainach. According to clearly visible traces, the car had left the Mölltalbundesstrasse, was badly damaged and the driver, who was clearly drunk, had already gotten out. Naturally, the drunken, 39-year-old driver from the Spittal an der Drau district had to undergo an alcohol test.
The wheel suddenly pulled out a butterfly knife
Which, as expected, turned out to be more than obvious. And so the uniformed officers confiscate his driver’s license on the spot. What finally panicked the driver: He pulled out a so-called butterfly knife and stabbed wildly at the roof of the patrol car. The police officers kept their distance to protect themselves and asked him to throw away the stabbing weapon – at which point the situation completely escalated.
Suspect incapacitated
The suspect changed the grip of the knife, released the vehicle and then attacked the uniformed officers. One of the officers had the presence of mind to use pepper spray and eliminate the attacker. The handcuffs clicked into place for the suspect. The interview had to be “postponed” due to his drunkenness.
