Man goes completely berserk

Death threat against bus driver due to ticket inspection

An everyday situation on a bus in Klagenfurt escalated on Sunday afternoon. After a bus driver asked children to sit down and checked their tickets, a 30-year-old man from Klagenfurt went berserk.

"Sit down so that you don't hurt yourselves if you brake" - this, or a similar, request from a bus driver in Klagenfurt to a woman with her four children was the start of the disaster on Sunday afternoon. "When he then wanted to check the ticket, a verbal argument ensued and the woman left the bus together with the children and a man," reports the police, who were alerted at 4.20 pm.

Because the argument is just the start of the trouble - the man, a 30-year-old from Klagenfurt, suddenly returns, spits at the driver's cab and punches the driver through the open side window. "He also threatened to kill the man verbally and with a knife," said the police.

Caught in the underground car park
Thanks to a photo that the bus driver had the presence of mind to take, the police recognized the man from a previous incident and drove to his partner's apartment, where they found him in the underground car park. "He initially tried to flee, but was then arrested," explained the police, who took the 30-year-old to Klagenfurt prison. He will now be charged with making dangerous threats and assault.
