Pensioner Seriously Injures Police Officer in Industrial District

A defiant 72-year-old severely injured a police officer in Eggendorf (district of Wiener Neustadt) on Thursday following a preliminary arrest. The pensioner inflicted rib bruises on the officer with kicks to his upper body. Additionally, he bit the officer on the right ring finger, nearly severing the tendon. This resulted in surgery at the Wiener Neustadt state hospital.

Man tried to hit female officer

The 72-year-old became increasingly aggressive after consuming alcohol in a club premises. This did not change when a police patrol arrived. The man from the district of Wiener Neustadt was uncooperative and attempted to hit a female officer on the head.

Officer on extended sick leave

Calming the senior was not an option even afterwards. During the escort to the patrol car, the attack on the police officer followed, who is now on extended sick leave. Meanwhile, the 72-year-old is being reported to the Wiener Neustadt public prosecutor's office for serious bodily harm.
