Duo stopped in a field
Police shot at two fleeing smugglers
Two Pakistani people smugglers were stopped after a dramatic chase in the district of Mistelbach (Lower Austria). Shots were also fired.
The Asians raced across the border near Drasenhofen at breathtaking speed after ramming a radio patrol in the neighboring Czech Republic and breaking through several police barriers there. But even in the Weinviertel region, the Pakistanis, aged 23 and 29, did not think to comply with the attempts to stop them.
Escape attempt at up to 150 km/h
On the contrary: even a shot from a service pistol could not stop the duo, nor prevent them from speeding through the town of Poysdorf at 150 km/h. It was only when the tractors, pursued by several patrols, turned into a dirt track that the hellish ride came to an end.
A police car was damaged during the spectacular operation. Shocked, nine illegal immigrants soon climbed out of the rear passenger compartment of the getaway vehicle, four of whom were children. The driver had to be taken to the Mistelbach regional hospital for the time being. He had suffered undetermined injuries in an accident in the neighboring country.
