Vienna-Mariahilf: Intoxicated 21-Year-Old Breaks into Vienna Supermarket After Bizarre Announcement

A 21-year-old Austrian broke into a supermarket branch in Vienna-Mariahilf on Tuesday evening around 9:30 PM. A witness alerted the police and informed the officers that the suspect was on the run. During an immediate search, the police were able to arrest the heavily intoxicated man on Hirschengasse. A preliminary breath test showed an alcohol level of 4.02 per mille.

Prior to this, the man had bumped into a witness at a sausage stand nearby and cut in line. After the witness declined his invitation for an alcoholic drink, the situation escalated. According to the witness, the 21-year-old stood in front of the said supermarket branch and loudly announced his plan. He also informed English-speaking individuals, presumably tourists, that he was about to commit a burglary. He then took a run-up and jumped against the entrance door of the branch. This pried the entrance door open slightly, allowing him to crawl into the branch.
