On September 27th, around 2 p.m., police officers were called to an apartment in Vienna-Floridsdorf to check on a missing person from the psychiatric ward of a hospital.

found. The suspect was reported on suspicion of resistance to state authority, under the Weapons Act and on suspicion of cruelty to animals and taken to a correctional facility.
