Drunk Man Went Berserk: Rescue Operation in Vienna-Leopoldstadt Escalated

The police were alerted on July 13 around 3:30 AM due to a suspicious person in Lassallestraße in Vienna-Leopoldstadt. A 33-year-old Austrian citizen had initially been lying motionless on the ground, prompting the officers to initiate first aid measures.

Before medical assistance could be provided, the man reacted increasingly aggressively. He loudly insulted the emergency personnel, repeatedly violated the required close distance, and ignored multiple requests to cease his behavior.

Although the officers managed to calm the man temporarily, the situation escalated again. The 33-year-old allegedly attempted to throw a phone towards a police officer. He was then provisionally arrested.
