On Saturday, officers from the Margareten City Police Command were called by a woman who claimed her husband had threatened to kill her if she did not resume their relationship.

A restraining order was already in place against the 45-year-old (citizen of Ukraine) due to other cases of domestic violence. Officers managed to stop and temporarily arrest the fleeing suspect in the area of the Mariahilfer Gürtel. He had an alcohol level of approximately 0.9 per mille.

Man in Vienna did not confess

The 45-year-old did not confess and was taken to a detention center after consultation with the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office. Charges were filed on suspicion of severe coercion and violation of the restraining order.
