Failed Supermarket Robbery in Vienna-Donaustadt: Cashier Fought Back

The facts presented by police spokeswoman Julia Schick suggest that the suspect did not plan the robbery very thoroughly. Accordingly, he entered the store around 7:45 AM, turned around in the entrance area, and made moves to leave again. However, he then seemed to decide to go through with the robbery.

Cashier in Vienna-Donaustadt tried to snatch scissors from the perpetrator's hand

He turned around again and finally entered the store on Biberhaufenweg. To disguise himself, he merely pulled the black T-shirt he was wearing over his mouth and nose, approached the cash register, and threatened a 54-year-old cashier with scissors. He demanded cash from the register. However, the 54-year-old refused and attempted to snatch the scissors from the perpetrator's hand. He then stormed out of the market.

The police launched an immediate search and arrested a 22-year-old Serbian national who matched the description. The officers found a pair of scissors about ten centimeters long on him. He told the police that he wanted to get a certain amount because he needed money. However, it did not seem to be about procuring drugs. The suspect had not thought about his escape route. The young man was taken to a detention center on the orders of the public prosecutor's office.
