Police Caught Robber in Vienna-Penzing

The police managed to stop the two male suspects in the area of Märzstraße. During a personal search of the 33-year-old Russian national, cash was found that could be attributed to the 36-year-old victim. He confessed, was temporarily arrested on suspicion of robbery, and subsequently reported at large by order of the Vienna public prosecutor's office. The mobile phone of the 29-year-old woman was found in the fanny pack of the second man, a 34-year-old Austrian. Since the 34-year-old is not supposed to have committed any criminal acts, he is listed as a witness. However, the 34-year-old still has outstanding administrative penalties and was subsequently temporarily arrested in this regard.

The two victims were given emergency medical treatment by the Vienna professional rescue service and then released into home care.
