The Vienna professional fire brigade was able to quickly extinguish the fire and prevent further spreading. The arson investigation team of the Vienna State Criminal Police Office is investigating the case of arson. The fugitive suspect was wearing a black baseball cap, light pants, a light T-shirt, a black vest, and black shoes, and was carrying a black shoulder bag. The police requested that witnesses who can provide relevant information about the crime contact the Vienna State Criminal Police Office at the Vienna phone number 01-31310-33800, possibly even anonymously. The background of the crime is currently completely unclear. "So far, the registered owner of the motorcycle has not come forward," said police spokesman Markus Dittrich in response to an APA inquiry. Possible motives include a revenge act or an object randomly chosen by the arsonist.
