On Monday afternoon, a traffic accident with property damage occurred in Vienna-Liesing, in which a vehicle involved in the accident lost a license plate and the driver fled the scene. Shortly thereafter, the drug-impaired driver, who did not have a driver's license, returned and snatched the license plate from the other party involved in the accident. When a police officer pursued the fleeing driver, the latter resisted with blows and injured the officer.

The incident occurred around 4:25 PM on Ketzergasse in Vienna. An off-duty police officer witnessed the traffic accident and the subsequent events. When the man demanded the return of the license plate and snatched it from the other party involved in the accident, the officer went on duty and pursued the fleeing man. When he caught up with the man, the latter attempted to resist arrest with blows and injured the officer. Several patrol cars rushed to assist, and they managed to provisionally arrest the 22-year-old.

The 22-year-old was charged with suspected attempted resistance to state authority and serious bodily harm. During the further official action, it was also revealed that the man did not have a driving license and was under the influence of drugs.
