Hit-and-run driver caught in Vienna-Donaustadt: 37-year-old in custody

The police have now secured footage from witnesses and from a surveillance camera in an underground garage near the crime scene. Through further investigations, they managed to track down the suspect, a 37-year-old Austrian citizen, and arrest him at his mother's house in Vienna-Donaustadt with the support of the WEGA. The 37-year-old resisted fiercely, and physical force had to be used.

During the interrogation, the 37-year-old did not confess. He claimed he only wanted to flee because he had a stolen license plate mounted on his car. He was taken to a detention center.
