Drunk Man Stole Taxi in Vienna and Caused Chaos in Lower Austria

According to police information from Thursday, the Serbian citizen was apprehended, and a breathalyzer test showed 1.7 per mille. The accused, who refused to make a statement, was arrested and taken to the Vienna-Josefstadt prison. He has previous convictions for similar offenses and does not have a valid driver's license.

Taxi Was Apparently Stolen in Vienna

At 3:50 a.m. on Tuesday night, a man filed a report and mentioned the obviously intoxicated driver. The witness also stopped the 42-year-old in the Neunkirchen city area. The Serb was driving a Mercedes-Benz taxi with Schwechat registration. The car had a smashed side window, and the accused did not have the vehicle documents with him.

A phone inquiry by the officers with the owner revealed that the taxi had been parked by him in Vienna the previous evening. The 42-year-old, who is not registered in Austria, was then taken into custody, and the vehicle was secured.
