In a supermarket in Vienna-Margareten, a customer saw a visibly intoxicated man in military camouflage clothing with a pistol and two knives on his belt on Thursday.
The authorities stopped the 55-year-old after he left the store and during a personal search, they secured a revolver, a shooting pen, a veterinary pistol, 22 rounds of ammunition, and five knives. Additionally, they found a drug scale, two containers with cocaine, a package with cannabis, and 1,380 euros in cash. During a house search, 34 rounds of ammunition, a package with ecstasy, three packages with cannabis, and 568 tablets were also secured. The Austrian - who is already subject to a weapons ban - could not be questioned due to his apparent intoxication, according to the police. He was reported at large, and investigations are ongoing.
