With a blade from a utility knife, a 62-year-old Austrian citizen carved a swastika into the wooden seat of a park bench in Vienna on Friday.

He was observed by a passerby, who immediately notified the Vienna police. Officers from the Goethegasse police station temporarily arrested the 62-year-old. During the interrogation, the accused confessed. He cited boredom as his motive and denied any politically motivated background. By order of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, he was charged on suspicion of violating the Prohibition Act and on suspicion of property damage, but was released.
