On Tuesday afternoon, two drivers used a blank-firing gun and a screwdriver to settle a dispute over a right-of-way violation on the outer Vienna Neubaugürtel.

According to police spokeswoman Julia Schick, a 37-year-old van driver and a 39-year-old taxi driver initially shouted at each other loudly. Among other things, one reportedly told his opponent: "If you want problems, you'll get problems."

Man in Vienna drew a deceptively realistic-looking blank-firing gun

The 37-year-old North Macedonian citizen drew a deceptively realistic-looking blank-firing gun and is said to have cocked it. His Indian opponent, who had a passenger in the car, pulled out a screwdriver. Fortunately, neither of them used their weapon. According to Schick, both the blank-firing gun and the tool were confiscated. Both opponents claimed that the other had drawn their weapon first.

Both were arrested. Additionally, the police imposed a temporary weapons ban on them.
