Ejection, expulsion. A Viennese woman recently caused a stir and a police operation in St. Pölten when she went on a rampage. 

The first stop for the 55-year-old, who had traveled from the capital by train, was Norbert Fröstl's legendary café, where the woman appeared several times shouting crazy slogans despite being warned by the police and ordered to leave. While some guests listened with amusement, others felt harassed. Despite being thrown out, the mentally impaired woman was not deterred from moving between doughnuts and coffee several more times and even "helping the pastry chef to serve" once.

Action in the supermarket
But then the situation escalated! First of all, the lady, who was talking wildly about the danger of "Serbian (sic) tigers", wandered into a cosmetics store - also in the city center. Two sales clerks managed to gently escort the rioting, confused woman out. But then - a few meters further on in the heart of St. Pölten - the situation escalated completely in a nearby supermarket. According to eyewitness reports, the woman began to clear out some shelves with a wave of her hand. The management of the grocery store had no choice but to alert the police. But even then, the Viennese woman could not be calmed down. She bit an officer's finger! Ad.
