Shots led to a police operation on Hochsatzengasse in Vienna-Penzing on Sunday evening. As a result, several shell casings were seized and a 38-year-old was arrested. Vienna State Police reported that he and two other men took a bag of cash from the hand of a 30-year-old, which was originally intended for an alleged car purchase.
The other suspects were able to escape during the operation on Sunday. The victim told the police that he had come to Vienna with two friends around 7:50 PM to view and possibly buy a used car that was offered on the Internet.
Shot several times in the air
When the alleged sellers drove up in another vehicle, one of the three suspects allegedly shot several times in the air and took the man’s bag and its contents during a scuffle. The victim was also hit and injured several times.
Firearm not yet found
According to police, the companions and the victim managed to arrest one of the three car salesmen. The alerted police then arrested the 38-year-old Algerian. A pocket knife was also seized, but the firearm was not found.

The specific background of the incident is still extremely unclear. The Vienna State Criminal Investigation Department, West Division, has taken over the investigation.
You will receive any relevant information about the incident (also anonymously) at any police station and by telephone on 01-31310-25100.
