Man arrested – attacked Viennese police officers with a wooden slat

Date:

On Friday morning, a dangerous attack on several police officers took place in Vienna-Währing. A 35-year-old attacked the officers with a wooden baton.

Attentive witnesses alerted the police around 7:00 a.m. after they saw the 35-year-old attacking passers-by with a wooden batten near a hospital. The officers were only able to stop the suspect in Vienna-Alsergrund. However, the man refused to drop the wooden batten, which contained a long nail. Shortly afterwards, he attacked the officers with it.
