45-Year-Old Resists Presentation and Attacks Police Officers

When the officers explained to him that he had to come along, the 45-year-old tried to slam the apartment door on the officers. An officer stood in the doorway, at which point the man immediately reacted with physical violence. According to the police, the officers had to exert "enormous physical strength" to bring the attacker under control. The man repeatedly attacked the officers.

He was temporarily arrested for resisting state authority and subsequently presented to the competent court. On the orders of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, the 45-year-old was charged but released. During the incident, two police officers were injured but were able to continue their duty.
