A 57-year-old father and his 30-year-old son got into a fight in Vienna-Brigittenau on Tuesday. Both men had injured each other in the face. The police had to be alerted. 

Due to the loud argument between the two men, officers from the Brigittenau municipal police command had to be called. On the scene, the police officers could see injuries to the faces of both men. When they tried to question the father and son separately about the incident, the 30-year-old became increasingly aggressive and was arrested. 

Police officer threatened in hospital
During his arrest, the son kicked the knee of a police officer several times. The officer had to leave his duty. Because of his facial injuries, the 30-year-old had to go to hospital for clarification. He also threatened another police officer there. The arrested man is being held by the police and has been reported several times.
