Hammer attack on a parked police car in Vienna: While police officers and officers from the City of Vienna were busy on Inner Mariahilfer Straße on Saturday afternoon with a control focus on e-scooter drivers, a 25-year-old passer-by maltreated the police car with a sledgehammer at around 2 pm.

The suspect hit the hood before officers from the Taubstummengasse police station arrested him, reported police spokesman Markus Dittrich. In addition to the hammer, they seized two pieces of .308 caliber rifle ammunition and a stolen ID card.

"For hammering"
The interrogation of the 25-year-old turned out to be rather unproductive, not least because of his unwillingness to cooperate. When asked what he needed the recently purchased tool for, he replied: "For hammering". The man, who had already been banned from carrying weapons, only wanted to have the ammunition with him as a souvenir and denied stealing it.

Following an order from the public prosecutor's office, the 25-year-old was taken to a prison.
