Wild Escape on E-Scooter in Vienna 15 Ends with Arrest

On August 6th, around 10:45 AM, police officers in the 15th district of Vienna noticed two men who were apparently involved in a drug transaction. When the officers attempted to conduct a check, one of the suspects jumped on an e-scooter and tried to escape.

Two Collisions with Police Vehicle During E-Scooter Escape Attempt

In doing so, the man first collided with the driver's door of an unmarked police vehicle and then crossed the multi-lane Sechshauser Gürtel without paying attention to the flowing traffic. He continued his escape on the sidewalk, where several pedestrians, including a child, had to jump aside to avoid being hit.

At the level of Ullmannstraße, there was another collision—this time with the passenger side of the same police car. Nevertheless, the 34-year-old continued his ride against the direction of traffic.

Drugs and Medications Seized from 34-Year-Old

A short time later, the officers managed to stop the man using physical force and provisionally arrest him. He is suspected of being under the influence of drugs.

During the search, the police found an unspecified amount of narcotics, presumably heroin, as well as prescription medications. There was already an active arrest warrant for the man from the Vienna Regional Criminal Court.

The Austrian citizen was charged with endangering physical safety and under the Narcotic Drugs Act and was taken to a correctional facility.
