Man Threatened Bouncer at Vienna Praterstern with Broken Glass Bottle: Taser Deployment

The incident occurred on January 1st around 4 a.m. The police were on patrol in the Praterstern area when they were approached by a group of men. They complained that they had been denied entry into a nearby establishment by a security guard. The men appeared heavily intoxicated to the officers. One of the men, a 28-year-old Afghan citizen, became increasingly irate and aggressive in the presence of the police. Suddenly, he left the group, headed towards the establishment, picked up a glass bottle lying on the ground, broke it, and went to the entrance of the establishment to threaten the doorman there.
