Arrest in Vienna-Hernals escalates – two police officers injured
In the Hernals district, a police operation ended with two injured officers. A 28-year-old man offered strong resistance during his detention by the police. This is reported by MeinBezirk.at.
The officers were on duty in the 17th district on Tuesday evening, 16 June. During a check of the man, it emerged that he had been issued with a mandatory return order to leave the country. When law enforcement officers addressed him about this, he is said to have attempted to flee.
In Geblergasse, an officer was able to confront and stop the fleeing man. During the subsequent detention, the 28-year-old put up fierce resistance. He struck and kicked repeatedly in the direction of the police officers. The officers ultimately managed to restrain him through physical superiority.
Both officers sustained injuries that made them unfit for further duty.
