Strong hairdryer, a waste container and a car: these ‘ingredients’ led to a police operation in Innsbruck late on Saturday afternoon. The officers also encountered the owner, who – it turned out – had hidden drugs in his car. Apparently he also had residue on his nose. Eventually the situation escalated.
A storm has been raging in Innsbruck for days. This may also have initiated the operation. A report was filed with the police around 4:30 p.m that a waste container rolled into a parked vehicle on Grabenweg in Innsbruck.
Suspect admitted drug possession
After a patrol arrived at the vehicle, the driver, a 27-year-old Austrian, also arrived. “The officers observed residue of a white powder on the man’s nostrils,” investigators said.
When asked, the local resident said he had addictive substances in his vehicle. “The man refused to be taken to the doctor. His driver’s license has been confiscated,” investigators continued. And eventually it escalated: “When police wanted to search the 27-year-old’s vehicle, the man attacked the officers.”
Police officers were injured by punches and kicks
The suspect was eventually arrested. Two police officers were injured by kicks and punches. The 27-year-old also suffered minor injuries during the arrest. After the investigation is completed, appropriate reports will be made.
