Man in Vienna drew a deceptively realistic-looking blank-firing gun

The 37-year-old North Macedonian citizen drew a deceptively realistic-looking blank-firing gun and is said to have cocked it. His Indian opponent, who had a passenger in the car, pulled out a screwdriver. Fortunately, neither of them used their weapon. According to Schick, both the blank-firing gun and the tool were confiscated. Both opponents claimed that the other had drawn their weapon first.

Both were arrested. Additionally, the police imposed a temporary weapons ban on them.
