Vienna Police Fired Warning Shot During Pursuit

The 26-year-old had been driving without a valid driving license and had been stopped during a traffic check. In addition, there was an active court order for the man to appear before the Vienna Regional Court for Criminal Matters. When the officers informed him of this, the man fled on foot across the parking lot of a shopping center. The police took up the chase and repeatedly asked the Austrian to stop. After several verbal warnings of the use of firearms, a warning shot was finally fired according to the police. No people were endangered or injured in the process, and no objects were damaged. However, the man continued his escape, ran into a multi-party house, and hid in a friend's apartment. This was eventually opened by the WEGA and the 26-year-old was arrested. According to the order, he was taken to a correctional facility to begin his sentence. He will also be reported for driving without a license.
