On Saturday, the police conducted a targeted operation against youth crime and crime in public spaces. This followed an incident in Vienna-Floridsdorf, where several youths, including one with a firearm, chased a person through a park and fired shots.

The police operation, led by the Floridsdorf City Police Command and supported by the Vienna Rapid Response Unit and the Police Dog Unit, focused on the Floridsdorf train station and the nearby skate park after shots were fired from a blank-firing gun, as police spokesman Markus Dittrich announced on Sunday.

Focused Operation in Park in Vienna-Floridsdorf: 25 Identities Established, Two Reports

"As part of the operation, a comprehensive patrol of the mentioned locations was carried out. The aim was particularly to strengthen the police presence to prevent any further incidents," Dittrich stated. The officers conducted 25 identity checks and issued two administrative reports for breaches of public decency. Two reports were made to the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum (BFA), and two drug finds were registered, although it was not possible to assign them to specific owners or sellers. There are no concrete leads on the suspects from the Friday evening incident. Investigations for dangerous threats are ongoing, with the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, North Branch, responsible. The police continue to monitor the area around the Floridsdorf train station, as Dittrich confirmed: "Temporarily, foot patrols in the area will be intensified. Additionally, there will be increased patrol car operations."
