Soldiers Intervened After Attempted Robbery in Vienna

A 46-year-old Serbian man had taken a 25,000-euro designer handbag and left a boutique for vintage luxury items in the city center without paying. The manager wanted to confront the alleged thief - but he swung a punch, which the boutique owner narrowly avoided. Although the handbag was dropped and the escape was initiated, the manager pursued - and alerted two armed forces soldiers, who were on their nearby surveillance post as part of an assistance mission, to the fugitive. They apprehended the alleged perpetrator and held him until the arrival of the police. According to the Vienna police, a provisional arrest was made. Additionally, the 46-year-old was charged with suspicion of attempted robbery. He was initially held in police custody.
