On Monday evening, a 44-year-old man in Vienna-Donaustadt allegedly threatened to shoot two men aged 21 and 24. They were visiting relatives in a multi-family house. A weapon was subsequently found on the 44-year-old, which he possessed illegally.

The incident occurred around 9:30 PM on Wiener Rennbahnweg. According to Vienna police, the men were apparently too loud from the 44-year-old's perspective. When the police arrived, the 44-year-old Austrian citizen was aggressive towards the officers. He was arrested. An air rifle was secured in his apartment. The man is subject to an active weapons ban.

In his interrogation, the 44-year-old denied the threat and claimed that he had been beaten himself.
