In Vienna-Leopoldstadt, a 29-year-old man attacked a police officer with a kick and a punch on Sunday and then fled, the authorities reported in a press release on Monday.

The police were alerted because of two men arguing, who were allegedly on the roadway in Czerningasse. When the police approached them, one of them attacked an officer. During his escape, the Algerian repeatedly obstructed and endangered vehicle and pedestrian traffic, but was eventually stopped on Praterstraße and provisionally arrested on suspicion of resisting state authority. The 29-year-old was initially in police custody. During the incident, an officer was injured, but he was able to remain on duty.
