Man in Vienna-Leopoldstadt was attacked with blows

The suspects allegedly attacked the man sitting in the vehicle in Vienna-Leopoldstadt with blows and demanded money. Furthermore, they allegedly threatened to kill him. After the 20-year-old repeatedly stated that he had no cash on him, the alleged perpetrators eventually left him alone. The victim then locked himself in his rental vehicle and called the police emergency number. The arrest of the two suspects took place not far from the crime scene. The 20-year-old was injured in the incident.

The two alleged perpetrators put up significant resistance both during the arrest and in the detention area. Officers from the WEGA were called in for support twice.
