On early Saturday evening, an intoxicated man hijacked a taxi in Vienna-Alsergrund and drove it to the Rossauer Barracks.

However, he did not get far because police stations are also located there. He was stopped by officers from the Vienna Traffic Department and the special unit Wega. Due to his extremely aggressive behavior, he was arrested. His actions were not entirely clear, but the 23-year-old had previously gotten into an argument with the taxi driver.

23-Year-Old in Vienna Temporarily Arrested

The young man got into the car as a passenger in Leopoldstadt. During the ride, the Syrian repeatedly changed his destination, leading to a confrontation with the taxi driver. When the driver wanted to let the 23-year-old out on Türkenstraße to notify the police, the young man suddenly got into the car and drove off.

When the police stopped him, the visibly intoxicated man showed aggression towards the officers and made confused statements. The 23-year-old was temporarily arrested.

During the official action, it was revealed that the taxi driver was operating without a license. The 33-year-old Bulgarian was reported.
