A 16-year-old girl injured a Vienna policewoman during an official operation by biting her on the forearm.

"Officers from the Stiftgasse police station tried to calm the young woman. Since this was unsuccessful and a potential danger to herself or others could not be ruled out, they detained the 16-year-old," the spokesman explained. During this, the policewoman sustained the bite wound.

The teenager was temporarily arrested. During the interrogation, she did not provide a comprehensible explanation for her behavior. The Vienna public prosecutor's office ordered a report to be filed while she remains at liberty.
