WEGA Operation in Vienna-Brigittenau: Armed Man Apprehended

Since the suspect had fled, the officers initiated immediate search measures. Shortly thereafter, with the support of WEGA officers, they managed to stop the man in a car on Karl-Czerny-Gasse and temporarily arrest him. A loaded blank-firing gun was found and secured from the 26-year-old Dutchman.

As it later turned out, the man had threatened to shoot his wife and locked her in the apartment with two children.

A restraining and approach ban, as well as a provisional weapons ban, were issued against the 26-year-old. There was also suspicion that the 36-year-old was driving the car under the influence of drugs, which led to the confiscation of his driver's license. The suspect is in police custody.
