On Monday evening, a man is said to have threatened teenagers with killing them.

The two teenagers, aged 16 and 18, had asked the older gentleman for a cigarette in front of a restaurant at Schwendermarkt. He allegedly threatened them with death and showed the outline of a firearm through his jacket pocket. The man then left in a taxi.

Officers from the Storchengasse police station identified the suspect as a 76-year-old Austrian citizen. Together with WEGA, the police searched the man's apartment. They found a blank-firing gun, two pepper sprays, and a baton. A temporary weapons ban was issued against the obviously intoxicated man. He was reported at large.
