During their patrol, officers from the Margareten City Police Command were approached by two individuals near the Gumpendorfer Gürtel in front of a building.

The 40-year-old and his colleague, who is two years younger, are employees of a clearance company. They were tasked with removing stored furniture and various waste from the basement of a multi-party building.

Upon their arrival, they noticed a man from the same building watching them. While carrying the items, they were allegedly verbally attacked by the man and threatened with a poker and a handsaw. The 35-year-old man was in a very agitated state and was subsequently temporarily arrested by the officers. Both the poker and the saw were secured in the basement area. On the orders of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, the 35-year-old was transferred to a correctional facility.
