31-Jähriger zückte, at Wiener U-Bahnstation Waffe

A security guard of the Vienna Lines woke up a man sleeping in the subway at around 18.30 on November 27 and asked him to get on the platform. But there the man became increasingly aggressive towards security personnel and other passengers and suddenly produced a suspected firearm. The suspect then fled towards Thaliastraße.

Police managed to stop a man matching the person’s description near Josefstädter Straße. The 31-year-old Somali national was approached and at that time he removed the gun from his waistband again, but placed it on the ground upon the officers’ request.

The 31-year-old young man was taken to the police station. Even there the man behaved aggressively and insulted the officers several times. He was temporarily arrested and a temporary weapons ban was imposed. The gun turned out to be a blank firing gun and it was confiscated.
