A 46-year-old Serbian man had taken a 25,000-euro designer handbag and left a boutique for vintage luxury items in the city center without paying. The manager wanted to confront the alleged thief, but the latter swung a punch, which the boutique owner narrowly avoided. Although the handbag was dropped and the suspect fled, the manager pursued him and alerted two Austrian Armed Forces soldiers, who were on a nearby surveillance post as part of an assistance mission, to the fugitive. They apprehended the alleged perpetrator and held him until the authorities arrived. The 46-year-old was temporarily arrested and charged with attempted robbery. He was initially held in police custody.
