Drama at Vienna Parking Garage: Girl Shows SOS Hand Signal, Mother and Children Rescued

On November 30, police officers were dispatched to a shopping center in Vienna-Rudolfsheim around 7:30 PM. In the parking garage, there had previously been a traffic accident with property damage between two drivers. One of the parties involved could not present a driver's license, which is why the second driver called the emergency services.

SOS Signal: 34-Year-Old with Children Discovered in Car

On site, the police officers found that a 39-year-old Iraqi citizen indeed did not have a valid driver's license. The man displayed noticeable, restless behavior, which led the officers to further investigate the incident.

In the vehicle, the officers noticed additional occupants. In the back seat were a 34-year-old woman and her two small children. The older child, a six-year-old girl, showed the officers the international SOS signal. Shortly thereafter, the mother tearfully asked for help.

39-Year-Old Forced Family to Get In

According to the police, it turned out that the woman had already obtained a restraining order against the 39-year-old. He allegedly threatened her on the street with a knife that same evening and forced her and the children to get into the car.

During the search of the vehicle, the police found a total of three knives as well as another one in the stroller. The man was taken to a detention center.
