A 28-year-old man ordered breakfast in a hotel on the Hernalser Gürtel. After he had been served it, he told a member of staff that he wanted a job. At the same moment, he pushed her against the wall, causing the woman to hit her head against a ledge. The aggressive guest followed another employee out into the street and punched her, causing her to fall to the ground.

When the alerted police officers from the Döbling municipal police station arrived, they first used pepper spray against the fleeing, almost two-metre tall and well-trained giant, while the man swore at them and attacked them. The officers used physical force to try and restrain the attacker.

Handcuffs and leg restraints for the raving man
He lashed out wildly and injured four uniformed officers. The raving man eventually had to be handcuffed and shackled. Three of the four injured officers were unable to continue their duties. The two hotel employees said they were unharmed.
