In Vienna-Leopoldstadt, a 25-year-old injured a police officer on Friday. The man attacked the officer with blows.

The police were dispatched to the Riesenradplatz after a man reportedly behaved aggressively towards security personnel and some stall operators at the Christmas market. Upon their arrival, the officers found an agitated and aggressive 25-year-old together with security staff. The Austrian refused to calm down despite requests and did not cease his criminal behavior. Eventually, he attacked one of the police officers, leading to his provisional arrest. A breathalyzer test showed a level of 1.5 per mille. According to witnesses, the man had already damaged inventory from food stalls before the police arrived. He was initially held in police custody. For the injured officer, the service ended according to the police statement on Saturday.
