A teenager (17) was involved in a dangerous chase with the police in Vienna-Brigittenau on Monday evening: the boy is said to have raced through the streets on a Vespa that he had stolen. The Austrian is said to have driven over sidewalks several times while evading the officers. Passers-by could only save themselves by jumping aside!
This action can no longer be dismissed as youthful recklessness. At around 8:10 p.m., officers in the vicinity of Heinestrasse became aware of the young rioter. He is said to have sped through the 30-zone at a speed of around 70 km/h. The 17-year-old ignored all signals from the police and eventually stopped – the chase began…
Saved by jumping aside
With his headlights turned off, the driver fled, driving onto the sidewalks several times and endangering several people. “The pedestrians and cyclists there could only avoid a collision by jumping aside or turning around quickly,” said police spokesman Mattias Schuster. The chase finally came to an end when the teenager suddenly crashed the vehicle and fled on foot in Rebhanngasse – he was caught and arrested.
Teenager allegedly found Vespa
In addition to the speeding violation and the danger to several passers-by, it also turned out that the getaway car had already been reported stolen by a young man on August 8. Furthermore, the license plate of the Vespa was registered in the name of another motorcycle. According to the 17-year-old, he found the vehicle. However, he later claimed to have bought it from an unknown man. Finally, the tip of the iceberg came: the driver also had cannabis with him.
Due to the fall, he was medically treated in a hospital and then taken to prison on the orders of the prosecutor. He also receives various advertisements.
