Man Rescued from Vienna Danube Canal

Officers from the Floridsdorf City Police Command were called to the Spittelauer Steg after a naked and aggressive man was reported. He was apparently under the influence of drugs, according to the Vienna police in a statement. The Serbian man, who was sweating profusely and making incoherent statements, clenched his fists and attempted to provoke the officers into a physical conflict. After he failed to calm down despite repeated requests and even became more aggressive, the officers eventually resorted to using pepper spray.
