Man Arrested After Short Manhunt

The 35-year-old from the Mistelbach district is said to have fetched the handgun from his home due to a dispute with other guests. When another argument broke out, he drew it, cocked it, and threatened a 27-year-old and a 29-year-old from the Mistelbach district. A 28-year-old was able to snatch the weapon from the 35-year-old, but the suspect took it back and fled on foot. The man, who was arrested after a short manhunt, is suspected of making dangerous threats. He was under a weapons ban.
