A 20-year-old motorcyclist, whose license plate had already been confiscated due to vehicle defects, evaded a police stop on Tuesday evening in Vienna-Floridsdorf. The man was slightly injured after a short chase and was temporarily arrested.

During a focus operation by rapid judges, the Vienna officers noticed a motorcyclist whose exhaust was obviously defective. Furthermore, the driver was speeding and had no license plate attached to the motorcycle. The license plate had only recently been taken from the 20-year-old, explained police spokeswoman Julia Schick upon APA inquiry. Because of this and due to the loud exhaust, he accelerated despite the officers' stop signal, according to his own statements. Due to violations of the road traffic regulations, more than 30 reports were filed, Schick reported.
