A Syrian citizen (20) allegedly stole a weapon from a woman’s handbag on Tuesday night and threatened her. The attacker fled shortly afterwards – a little later he was arrested by the police.
An attempted robbery took place in the fifth district of Vienna on Tuesday night. A 20-year-old Syrian national allegedly snatched a soft gun from the handbag of a 27-year-old woman and threatened her with it.
The Syrian, however, fled shortly afterwards. Two witnesses allegedly chased the man and overpowered him. The Vienna police were able to arrest the fleeing suspect shortly afterwards in Josef-Schwarz-Gasse.
However, there is no sign of the weapon. The police were unable to find it either during the search of the alleged perpetrator or on his escape route. The alleged victim was also no longer at the scene.
A WEGA police patrol finally found the alleged victim in the area of the underground station Margaretengürtel. In a first interrogation she confirmed the incidents – however, the intoxicated woman could not give any information about the whereabouts of the softgun.
