A 37-year-old car driver was arrested on Saturday afternoon on Großbauerstraße in Vienna-Floridsdorf after a road rage incident escalated.

According to the police, the Serbian national allegedly threatened to kill a 30-year-old driver and his 27-year-old passenger with a wooden stake approximately 40 centimeters long. The trigger was apparently a verbal conflict after the two vehicles met in a narrow alley and neither driver wanted to give way to the other.

After the altercation, the 37-year-old drove away aggressively, apparently lost control of his vehicle, and collided with a trash can and a street lamp. According to the police, a passerby was only able to save herself by jumping to the side.

The Kummergasse police station arrested the suspect. A medical officer determined impairment due to cocaine, and the man refused a breathalyzer test. Further investigations are ongoing.
