Two Arrests During Bicycle and E-Scooter Targeted Action in Vienna

The controls, carried out by the uniformed bicycle service of the Vienna traffic department together with several city police commands, began at 7:00 PM and were only concluded after seven hours. During this period, 66 on-the-spot fines were issued, as well as 56 reports according to administrative regulations and a further eight reports under the Aliens Police Act.

The speed violations detected with the e-scooters ranged from 44 km/h to 66 km/h - however, the legal maximum limit is 25 km/h. During the controls, the aforementioned incident with the two women occurred. First, a 31-year-old woman showed aggression towards the officers, who responded to this behavior with an arrest. Her 29-year-old companion attempted to prevent this, attacked and injured two police officers in the process - and was subsequently also temporarily arrested.
