Vienna Police Engage in High-Speed Chase with Speeder

The driver repeatedly ignored speed limits, barely kept distance from vehicles ahead, and forced other road users to brake abruptly. On Obere Donaustraße, the officers signaled the driver to stop with visible signs, but he did not respond and accelerated the vehicle.

During the pursuit, the driver committed further administrative offenses and exceeded the permitted maximum speed by more than 50 km/h at times. In Staudingergasse, the officers managed to stop the vehicle. The 38-year-old driver refused to get out despite repeated requests and locked the vehicle. An officer opened the driver's door through the open window, which the driver tried to prevent. The officers then used pepper spray. The 38-year-old initially showed no reaction and locked himself in the vehicle again. After a short time, he voluntarily opened the door and was temporarily arrested. The man was found to have an alcohol level of 1.02 per mille and was impaired by drugs. The 38-year-old's driver's license was temporarily revoked and further driving was prohibited. An officer was slightly injured during the operation.
