Strong hairdryer, a garbage container and a car: These “ingredients” led to a police operation in Innsbruck late Saturday afternoon. In the course of this, the officers also came across the owner, who – as it turned out – had stashed drugs in his car. Apparently he also had residue on his nose. Ultimately the situation escalated.
A foehn storm has been raging in Innsbruck for days. This may also have triggered the operation. At around 4.30 p.m. it was reported to the police that a waste container had rolled into a parked vehicle on Grabenweg in Innsbruck. Suspect admitted drug possession After a patrol arrived at the vehicle, the driver, a 27-year-old Austrian, also arrived. “The officers saw remains of a white powder on the man’s nostrils,” say investigators. When asked, the local said he had addictive substances in his vehicle. “The man refused to be taken to the medical officer. His driver’s license was taken away,” the investigators continued. And ultimately things escalated: “When the police wanted to search the 27-year-old’s vehicle, the man attacked the officers.” Police officers injured by punches and kicks. The suspect was finally arrested. Two police officers were injured by kicks and punches. The 27-year-old also suffered minor injuries during the arrest. After the investigation is completed, appropriate reports will be made.
