In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, officers from the Exhibition Street Police Station attempted to stop a motorcyclist for a check of driver and vehicle due to his conspicuous driving behavior during their patrol in Vienna-Leopoldstadt.

The motorcyclist evaded the check and committed several administrative offenses at significantly excessive speed. He eventually crashed on a traffic island, but remained uninjured and continued his escape on foot.

The officers were able to stop and provisionally arrest the 34-year-old man shortly thereafter. Further investigations revealed that the man was under the influence of drugs, did not possess a valid driver's license, and was wanted for location determination. During the search of the motorcycle's compartments, which was reported as stolen, the officers found several mobile phones, memory cards, as well as IDs and bank cards reported lost and stolen. The items were secured, and the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, South Branch, has taken over the investigations. The 34-year-old was reported for several traffic offenses as well as on suspicion of theft, suppression of documents, misappropriation of non-cash payment instruments, and endangering physical safety in road traffic.
