Angry driver hits parking attendant with car

A parking attendant was hit by an angry driver in Vienna's Landstraße district on Tuesday morning. The 53-year-old was thrown onto the hood and landed on the ground after a few meters.

The car with Hungarian license plates was parked in Eslarngasse in violation of the regulations. The parking attendant therefore wanted to attach a wheel clamp. Just at that moment, the owner of the car came back and wanted to drive off with the car.

The Hungarian hit the accelerator and hit the parking attendant standing in front of the car. The man was thrown onto the hood. The driver only stopped after a few meters, so that the park sheriff landed on the ground again. Fortunately, he was uninjured.

The 53-year-old was stopped by police officers. After questioning, he was released.
