Freaked out on the pitch

Drunk soccer fan beats up police officer

A 26-year-old Viennese went completely berserk on a soccer pitch in the district of Bruck an der Leitha. He not only attacked several guests, but also the police who had been alerted. He even punched an officer in the face.

It was either exuberant joy or deep frustration: in any case, a 26-year-old Viennese man drank well over his fill during the 11-0 home defeat of SC Margarethen in the district of Bruck an der Leitha. However, he probably couldn't handle the large amount of alcohol. The man got into an argument with more and more soccer fans before letting his fists do the talking. The rioter subsequently attacked several visitors, injuring them in the process. The only way out for those present was to call the police

Officer on sick leave
But even when he saw the uniforms of several patrol officers and even the rapid intervention team, the 26-year-old did not calm down. Quite the opposite! The muscular Viennese man immediately attacked the officers. He punched a police officer in the face. The latter suffered injuries that forced him to take sick leave. With combined forces, the violent man was temporarily arrested. He was later released and charged with grievous bodily harm and resisting law enforcement.
