Officers from the Simmering City Police Command conducted driver and vehicle checks on Monday evening in an area with a 30 km/h speed limit in Vienna-Simmering.

When the police noticed a car traveling at a significantly excessive speed, they signaled it to stop. The driver steered towards the officers, who saved themselves by jumping to the side, and continued driving.

The 21-year-old (citizen: Austria) refused to make a statement during his interrogation and was reported at large after consultation with the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office. The driver's license was provisionally confiscated following a medical examination due to fatigue. Additionally, several reports of traffic violations were filed.
