A routine operation in Vienna-Leopoldstadt escalated: Three police officers were injured, two of the officerscould not continue their duty.

Yesterday at noon, a 54-year-old man visited a police station to report his 15-year-old son missing. A missing person report was filed by the officers and all necessary police measures were taken. A few hours later, the man, accompanied by his 15-year-old son and his 18-year-old brother, returned to the same police station to have the missing person report withdrawn.

Officers in Vienna Police Station Attacked

During the clarification of the facts, the 15-year-old (citizen of Syria) was very uncooperative and aggressive towards the officers and wanted to leave the police station immediately. When the officers tried to prevent the 15-year-old from leaving the police station, the 54-year-old (citizen of Syria) father intervened and attacked the officers. The 15-year-old also became increasingly agitated towards the officers. All three family members present used physical force against the officers and were subsequently temporarily arrested for resisting state authority. During the operation, three officers were injured, and two of the officers could not continue their duty. By order of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, the father and his two sons were charged but released.
