On Friday, a 39-year-old man is said to have thrown objects at his partner and threatened to kill her with a firearm during an argument in an apartment in downtown Vienna late in the evening.

The alerted police arrested the man with the support of the special unit WEGA. The police could not confirm to the APA that he is a well-known scene restaurateur, as "personal data is not disclosed".

Exclusion and Restraining Order Issued

An exclusion and restraining order as well as a provisional weapons ban were issued against the 39-year-old. During the search of the apartment, two firearms, which the man legally owned, and two prohibited pistol magazines were found. The items were secured. By order of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, the 39-year-old was reported at large on suspicion of making dangerous threats, attempted bodily harm, and under the provisions of the Weapons Act.
