A 35-year-old French citizen treated himself to a "lavish meal" in a hotel restaurant in downtown Vienna on Monday evening, according to a police report - but had no intention of paying for it.

The incident occurred around 9 PM. "The man was apparently hungry," police spokesman Markus Dittrich said on Tuesday. According to him, the alleged fraudster ordered, among other things, spaghetti, fries with truffles, and six cocktails. The 35-year-old was unable to settle the bill, which amounted to about 200 euros, and wanted to charge it to a room. However, he had not actually checked into a room, which is why an employee notified the Vienna police.

The police found that the Frenchman is already suspected of having committed dining and dashing in various federal states multiple times, which is why it is considered a habitual offense. He was arrested.
