37-Year-Old Harassed Pedestrians on Vienna's Mariahilfer Straße: Arrest

Police officers who attempted to stop him were attacked by the Hungarian, reported police spokeswoman Julia Schick on Saturday: "Two officers were injured during the arrest but were able to continue their duty. The 37-year-old is in police custody."

The accused is said to have followed passersby with wild gestures. To the officers, he appeared "impaired," according to the spokeswoman. A woman fled from the 37-year-old into one of the shops on the well-known shopping street, and the shop owner called the police. The arrest was ultimately made on suspicion of resisting state authority.
