Suspect Engaged in Police Chase from Vienna to Lower Austria

During the search of possible hideouts of the wanted suspect, officers found a car with stolen license plates in an underground garage in Vienna-Brigittenau on Tuesday. When the 29-year-old saw the officers in the vehicle, he fled and broke through the barrier system.

Car Overturned During Police Chase in Lower Austria

The 29-year-old sped over the Handelskai, the Nordbrücke, the Danube Bank Motorway (A22), and the Vienna Outer Ring Expressway (S1). He ignored several attempts to stop him and performed risky driving maneuvers. On the S1 near Deutsch-Wagram, he collided with a police car and lost control of his vehicle. The car crashed into a concrete barrier, skidded to the right, and hit an embankment. As a result, the vehicle overturned.

The 29-year-old from the Neunkirchen district, who allegedly stole fuel among other things, was uninjured. He confessed to several crimes and was taken to the Korneuburg prison, the police announced in a statement on Thursday. The man is also suspected of aggravated theft and document suppression. Investigations and checks into possible further offenses are ongoing.
