During an argument, a 49-year-old man threatened to kill his opponent with a knife in hand on Saturday in a mosque in Vienna-Penzing. When the police arrived, the suspect came out of the building and approached the officers with clenched fists, prompting them to use pepper spray.
The man was eventually arrested with the help of the special unit Wega, according to the police.

After the spray was used, the man retreated to the courtyard of the building. There, he was arrested by the special unit Wega, who used distraction devices and a taser. According to the police, he was again holding a knife in his hand.
Mosque Key as the Reason?
The reason for the argument was apparently a key to the mosque, which the suspect was determined to take. The Turk was charged with suspicion of coercion.
