Shoplifter Detained by ÖBB Security Staff

The store detective reported that he had observed a young man attempting to leave the store with several unpaid clothing items. When he tried to stop the suspected shoplifter, the latter dropped the items and punched him in the chest and several times in the face and head. Thanks to a security staff member from ÖBB who rushed to help, the young man was detained and prevented from fleeing. The 20-year-old Slovak, who already had a residence ban for the federal territory, partially confessed to the allegations. He was temporarily arrested. The store detective received medical care from the emergency services and was subsequently discharged into home care.
