Wild scenes took place in Aldrans in Tyrol on Saturday morning! Because a van was blocking a sidewalk, police officers had the vehicle towed away. The suspected driver, a 34-year-old Romanian, became aggressive and had to be arrested. However, the man resisted. The intervening officers were even injured in the process.

At around 7.45 a.m., a police patrol in Aldrans noticed that a van was blocking the sidewalk. "A towing company was ordered to remove the vehicle," said the police. When this happened, a Romanian (34), apparently the driver of the van, came running out of a building and protested so aggressively that he was arrested without further ado.

"However, as the man quickly calmed down, the arrest was lifted," said the police. However, as the 34-year-old then tried again to obstruct the towing and again behaved extremely aggressively towards the police officers, he was arrested again. The Romanian then tried to make off, but was caught. The 34-year-old, who according to the investigators was heavily intoxicated, and the intervening police officers were slightly injured.
