Arrest in Vienna-Wieden: Police Officer Injured During Operation

Officers from the Taubstummengasse police station recognized a man known to the police during their patrol at Südtiroler Platz. He was helping a driver with a breakdown, along with another, as yet unknown person, to push the car off the road. The 34-year-old (citizen of the Russian Federation) had fled during an official action on 19.07.2025 due to unpaid fines amounting to 10,000 euros and had not paid the fine to date.
