On New Year’s Eve, a 28-year-old man attacked a security guard at a local establishment in Vienna-Leopoldstadt in the presence of police officers. He picked up a glass bottle from the ground, broke it and threatened the man. Police deployed a Taser after the 28-year-old failed to comply with orders to stop his criminal behavior.

The incident took place on January 1 around 4 a.m. Police were on patrol in the Praterstern area when they were approached by a group of men. They complained that they had been denied entry to a nearby establishment by a security guard. The men appeared to the officers to be heavily intoxicated. One of the men, a 28-year-old Afghan national, became increasingly angry and aggressive in the presence of police. Suddenly, he left the group, walked towards the establishment, grabbed a glass bottle lying on the floor, broke it and went to the entrance of the establishment to threaten the doorman there.

After a medical examination at a hospital, the 28-year-old was taken to a detention center before eventually being placed in a correctional facility.
