Armed with a butter knife, a man is said to have stormed a post office in Vienna-Ottakring on Monday. Employees then activated the attack alarm. According to witnesses, the suspect appeared confused. No wonder: the man had used drugs before.
The 43-year-old suspect may have consumed illegal substances at an earlier time. Around 9 a.m. he finally walked into a post office on Thaliastrasse. In his hand: a butter knife, which he said he needed for defense.
Those present were threatened with a butter knife
Once there, the Austrian allegedly took out his butter knife and threatened one of the customers present and the branch manager. The robbery alarm immediately went off, the confused man ran and fled to the other side of the street, where an officer arrested him a short time later.
Suspect is now in jail
“The man was reported on suspicion of making multiple dangerous threats and under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs Act,” police spokeswoman Anna Gutt said on Tuesday. He is now in prison.
