For the purpose of control, the two officers wanted to enter the bar to determine the exact facts. At the entrance to the restaurant, a previously unknown man tried to prevent the officials from entering, behaved indignantly and wanted to send them away. Officers entered the store and found it was still in business. The person in charge of the restaurant then approached the officials and immediately complained aggressively and did not show any understanding.
man interfered
The officials documented their point of view and then wanted to determine the data of the male person from the entrance, who also came to the official act in the bar. In the course of this, a 32-year-old man from the Klagenfurt-Land district suddenly got involved, behaved aggressively and wanted to prevent the officials from establishing their identity. In the course of further official action, the man from Klagenfurt suddenly punched an officer in the face. The officials pronounced the arrest of the man and wanted to carry it out. In the course of this, the manager of the restaurant, a 38-year-old from Klagenfurt, came back and tried to use force to prevent the arrest. He used massive force against the officers and put one officer in a “headlock”.
Police had to use pepper spray
The officers then had to use pepper spray to overcome the 38-year-old’s resistance. With the requested support of a SIG patrol and another police patrol, the 32-year-old was arrested and the 38-year-old was also arrested. The two were then first transferred to the Landhaushof police station and the older of the two was given the opportunity by the officers to wash his face in the sanitary facilities of the station. On the way to the sanitary facilities, the 38-year-old threatened the accompanying police officer. The informed rescue service cared for the man at the Landhaushof police station. The arrested persons were then transferred to the PAZ in Klagenfurt.
Slightly drunk
Both detainees were found to be slightly intoxicated. An interview will take place during the day. During the operation, an officer was injured by the punch, as well as the headlock and other assaults. A second officer was injured in the course of the resistance during the arrest. The degree of injury to both officers is still undetermined at this time. After outpatient care in the UKH Klagenfurt, both officers had to resign from work. The arrested persons are being investigated on suspicion of attempted resistance to state authority, serious bodily harm, and against the 38-year-old because of dangerous threats.
