Four Per Mille Intoxicated: Armed Viennese Man Causes WEGA Operation

The 41-year-old had previously stolen four bottles of vodka from a neighbor's apartment. When the 18-year-old confronted him about it, he lost his temper and initially threatened the young woman with a weapon. She called the police, which did not stop the Viennese man from also threatening the officers with a long gun. He was overpowered, disarmed, and arrested.

With Four Per Mille, Viennese Man Aimed Weapon at Police Officers

As reported by the police on Saturday, several patrol cars and the special unit Wega ultimately had to be dispatched to the apartment on Wagramer Straße. The 18-year-old stated that she actually had a good neighborly relationship with the 41-year-old. He also had a key to her apartment. It is likely that the man stole the bottles of spirits this way. When the woman confronted him, he threatened her with the weapon.

Several Weapons Secured in Apartment

Several airsoft weapons, an air pistol, and two knives were found and secured in the apartment. The man was still in police custody on Saturday. Due to his severe intoxication, an interrogation has not yet been possible, said police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger. A restraining order and a preliminary weapons ban were also issued against him. Further investigations into the incident are ongoing.
