On Saturday evening, a 44-year-old man allegedly tore a gold chain from the neck of a 78-year-old woman who was using a walker and then fled on an e-scooter.

The woman called the police emergency number and informed the officers of the Pappenheimgasse police station that the man had been reported by police officers shortly before for being intoxicated on the e-scooter. This was confirmed: the 44-year-old had been found with about 1 per mille, which made his identity known.

Suspect caused a disturbance in a venue after robbery

After a search, the suspect was quickly apprehended as he was causing a disturbance in a venue on Klosterneuburger Straße, thus prompting another police operation. The stolen gold chain was found on him and returned to the victim. The 44-year-old has not yet been questioned and remains in police custody. Further investigations are being conducted by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, Center/East branch.
