Drunk Driver Injures Viennese Police Officers During Check

During the inspection of the driver and the vehicle, a breathalyzer test was conducted, which resulted in a reading of 1.8 per mille. The police officers then prohibited the 41-year-old drunk driver from continuing his journey.

Drunk Driver Accelerated and Injured Vienna Police Officer's Hand

The man, who had already had his driver's license revoked twice due to alcohol, was uncooperative. He got back into his car and started abruptly, causing the officers to jump aside to avoid being run over. To prevent the drunk man from driving further, one of the police officers broke the driver's side window with his flashlight and tried to reach the car keys. At this moment, the drunk driver suddenly accelerated and drove off, slightly injuring the officer's hand.

After Escape: Drunk Driver Turned Himself In

To get the man to stop, the police officer fired three warning shots into loose soil. Neither people were endangered or injured, nor were objects damaged. The pursuit of the fleeing drunk driver by the police officers, a patrol in the nearby area, and a check at the man's home address and workplace were unsuccessful. Shortly thereafter, the fleeing 41-year-old turned himself in at the Kummergasse police station. He was temporarily arrested and reported for several administrative offenses. In addition, he was charged on suspicion of resisting state power and serious bodily harm. On the instructions of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, the 41-year-old was taken to a prison.
