On Monday evening, a man was threatened and coerced with a firearm in Vienna-Penzing.

Several patrol units were called to Wiener Steinbruchstraße around 6:50 PM when a witness reported that a man was threatening another man with a firearm. When the police arrived, the 45-year-old Austrian was attempting to hide the handgun under a parked car. He was temporarily arrested.

During the clarification of the facts, it was revealed that there was a dispute between two couples associated with the drug scene, which preceded the incident. Except for the 45-year-old, none of the parties involved were still on site. The man had possessed the weapon illegally. A temporary weapons ban was issued against him. Investigations are ongoing. The suspect is now back at large.
