In response to a request from APA, police spokeswoman Barbara Gass said the man was wanted on suspicion of aggravated assault. The background of the case is still unclear.
According to the woman’s statement, the man threatened her with a firearm in the tenth district around 9 am. The victim said in the emergency call that the accused was probably still on the stairs, but had already disappeared when police arrived, Gass said. “The perpetrator fled to Lower Austria; he possibly had a weapon, which he said he used to threaten the victim.”
The police reached the wanted person by telephone. He said he was at an AMS building in the district baden And will wait for emergency services there. When police officers including Cobra reached there, the man was not found. According to the Crown, a man matching the description of the man being sought was apparently arrested outside the AMS. However, this is not the wanted Ukrainian – the search continues.
