Rampaging Shoplifter Arrested in 22nd Viennese District

As reported by the State Police Directorate on Saturday, the 23-year-old is said to have tried to sneak past the checkout with his stolen goods around 9.00 a.m. and leave the store. However, a 46-year-old cashier stopped the man in the exit area, who then insulted her heavily. When a 39-year-old customer also blocked his way, the suspect is said to have first pushed the woman aside and shoved a shopping cart against the customer - both were injured in the process.
