Taxi Driver Without License Fled from Police Check: Arrest

When officers from the Fünfhaus City Police Command attempted to stop a taxi for inspection on Anschützgasse on Thursday evening, the driver suddenly turned around and accelerated.

The police officers pursued the taxi driver with their patrol car, during which the driver accelerated his vehicle to up to 90 km/h, forced another road user to make an emergency stop, damaged a traffic sign, and committed several other administrative offenses.

Taxi Driver Reported After Fleeing Police Check

In Toßgasse, the driver parked the taxi and fled on foot towards Mariahilfer Straße. He fell multiple times and hit his head against the trunk of a parked car, causing a dent. When the officers were finally able to stop him, he stated that he fled because he did not have a driver's license and was burdened with outstanding administrative fines amounting to 20,000 euros. He refused an examination by the emergency services. The 29-year-old Serbian citizen was temporarily arrested and subsequently reported multiple times.
