“What’s going on on Linzer Landstrasse?” asked passers-by who were walking around the Goethekreuzung tram stop on Wednesday afternoon. A large part of the available police forces, including the rapid intervention group, were deployed near the Volksgarten.
The reason was three almost simultaneous alarms, according to OÖN’s request from the state police headquarters in the evening: A scuffle in the Volksgarten, a robbery on the country road and an alarm being triggered in the Oberbank branch kept the emergency services busy.
Mühlviertler bit his hand
Several police officers went to the Volksgarten, where an argument between three Austrians had escalated in front of the tram stop. For an unknown reason, a 41-year-old from Steyr and a 38-year-old from Salzburg got into an argument, which culminated in a fight. A 38-year-old from Mühlviertel tried to intervene and was bitten on the hand by one of the two bullies. Further investigations will follow, according to the police.
Almost at the same time, an alarm was triggered in the Oberbank branch not far from the Volksgarten. Here too, the police arrived, but were quickly able to give the all-clear – it was a false alarm. In addition, a cell phone robbery on the country road called for emergency services.
