Police chase on A23 escalates: officer has to shoot

A 16-year-old car driver fled police pursuit on the Vienna Southeast Tangent (A23) on Friday, speeding at nearly 140 km/h and abandoning his vehicle to continue on foot. A motorcycle officer noticed the minor and attempted to stop him, leading to a high-speed chase involving dangerous maneuvers. The vehicle, carrying three other youths, was pursued from the Prater junction to the Altmannsdorfer Straße exit, where the driver and passengers fled on foot. Police used warning shots to halt some fugitives, eventually apprehending all four individuals. The suspected driver, lacking a valid license, faced multiple legal charges.
