An as yet unknown man attempted to rob cash with a broken glass bottle in hand at a gas station in Vienna-Favoriten on Sunday afternoon.

During the demand for money, the suspect spoke English. Two gas station attendants, aged 46 and 56, defended themselves and pushed the man out of the store in Vienna-Favoriten using a folded basket and a stool. According to police spokesman Markus Dittrich, the unknown man had pulled a hood over his head during the crime, but his face was unmasked.
