Threatened with Blank-Firing Gun: 50-Year-Old Arrested in Vienna

The apparently intoxicated man (citizen of the Russian Federation) entered a venue in downtown Vienna, drew a very realistic-looking blank-firing gun without any recognizable motive, and threatened two guests (aged 29 and 38). He spoke something in an incomprehensible language.

Employee in Vienna Venue Notified Police Emergency

An employee noticed the threatening situation and notified the police emergency number. Officers from the City Police Command Inner City, as well as forces from WEGA and the police dog unit, stopped the 50-year-old in front of the venue and secured a blank-firing gun and two knives from him. The man was arrested. During the interrogation, the 50-year-old stated that he could not remember the incident. On the orders of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, he was reported at large. Furthermore, a temporary weapons ban was issued against him.
