During an arrest in Vienna-Josefstadt, three police officers were slightly injured on the night of Saturday.
Previously, the emergency services had been called because of a man who was obviously heavily intoxicated. Because the 28-year-old was aggressive towards the paramedics, the police were also involved. Despite attempts to calm him down, the Austrian became increasingly aggressive and threw a glass bottle into a green area. Due to his dangerous behavior, he was detained for identification - but attacked the officers with an elbow strike. According to a statement from the police on Saturday, three officers were injured during the arrest.
