Aggressive Cyclist Threatened Police in Vienna-Floridsdorf
The officers caught him shortly before 5:00 PM on Prager Street while he was riding on the sidewalk. He almost collided with the police officers and was loudly informed by them that cycling on the sidewalk is not allowed.
He responded with the words: "I don't care." The police officers were in the middle of a vehicle check, which they ended after the cyclist's words. They stopped him on Prager Street in the Eisenbahnerberg area, to which the 33-year-old Austrian citizen responded: "The stop is just to humiliate the public." Subsequently, the man gesticulated wildly with his hands and repeatedly approached the officers with threats, including a reference to his alleged martial arts activity.
Police Officer in Vienna-Floridsdorf Bumped and Escaped
The uniformed officers informed him that he must push the bike on the sidewalk or use the roadway. He actually began to push the bike. In doing so, he bumped a police officer with his shoulder, got on his bike, and rode away. A chase ensued, during which he also grazed a patrol car as the officers tried to cut him off. He continued to flee on foot until he was apprehended at a gas station.
During the arrest, there was a scuffle. According to Steirer, the 33-year-old was initially able to free himself from the restraint, but with the help of additional officers, he was brought under control. On the orders of the public prosecutor's office, he was reported at large.
