Two nights before the lockdown, and then Halloween too. Anyone who has felt a dangerous motivation to celebrate a lot of parties here can breathe a sigh of relief. Halloween night in Austria passed largely without major incident.
There were only major riots in the center of Linz. According to the police, around 0.40 in the morning between 40 and 50 young people gathered. When 15 police patrols arrived, a large part of the group allegedly cursed the officers and threw bottles and cans in their direction. No one was injured. Thirty-one adolescents and young adults were reported per disorder.
According to the police, the youths come “mainly from Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq.” The group was eventually surrounded and subjected to identity checks. During the official act, tram traffic was interrupted for 30 minutes.
Another incident occurred on Saturday night at Andreas-Hofer-Park in Linz. Two masked men, one in a “puzzle” mask and the second in an army green gas mask, threatened a 33-year-old taxi driver with a gun at 8:30 pm and stole his wallet. Then one of the two thieves took the car key out of the taxi car and fled the city on foot with his accomplice.
Insulted officers
As reported by the Vienna police, several key actions were carried out in the downtown area of the city. In addition, compliance with Covid-19 regulations and laws related to catering establishments was verified throughout Vienna. In the center of the city, a person had to be “under administrative arrest” after a physical injury, because the officials could not calm her when the facts were clarified and they insulted her.
Additionally, a graffiti sprayer was caught in the act by police attempting to spray a subway structure.
And around 1:00 am, a man is said to have shown the Hitler salute to a police officer while crossing a protective road despite the red light. The 23-year-old was denounced at liberty under the Prohibition Law.
