Large-scale police operation on Thursday evening in downtown Vienna: Witnesses first saw a man handling a gun in front of a hotel, who then ran away. They alerted the executive. WEGA action!
A search for the unknown armed man was immediately initiated, which was soon to be successful: a 19-year-old suspect was stopped not far from the hotel. He was indeed “armed” but it was a softgun. It’s going to be expensive. The 19-year-old “only wanted to show this to a friend,” as he stated during the survey. However, this is expensive for the suspects: “A police lawyer issued the young man on site with a penalty order of 400 euros for the disorder committed,” said police spokeswoman Barbara Gass. The 19-year-old also has to bear the costs of the police operation.
