Officers from the Vienna police, including forces from the standby unit and the special unit WEGA, were able to detain the men on site. During a search, a hunting knife was found and secured from the 48-year-old. An alcohol test showed a level of 2.5 per mille for him, but apparently, all the brawlers were under the influence of alcohol.

A provisional weapons ban was issued against a 48-year-old suspect. He was arrested and is in police custody. The man is now being charged not only with involvement in a brawl but also with making dangerous threats. The other three participants were also charged.
