The police report now shows how intense the rioting was on the night of Favoriten. One suspect testified why a Christmas tree should burn.
Shortly after midnight, around 40 young people got together, made massive use of pyrotechnics, and tried to break into a jewelry store. The pressure waves from the pyrotechnic objects were so strong that several windows were broken at once. The Christmas tree was also showered with a mixture of diesel and gasoline, and several garbage cans flew through the air and / or against the windows of shops on Reumannplatz.
“Muslim District”
The fire brigade, police and ambulance were quickly at the site, and the tree was covered with extinguishing foam. “A Christmas tree has no place in a Muslim district, said one of the rioters,” said one of the emergency services. Several officers were pelted with rockets and “Allahu Akbar” slogans by the raging mob, and there were nine short-term arrests – you can read more about this here.
The investigations into serious damage to property, theft by burglary, attempted serious bodily harm and according to the narcotics law are ongoing.
Security Summit
Police President Gerhard Pürstl now wants to invite you to a security summit, while the SP is calling for concrete solutions. The FP warns of a “wishy-washy” summit.
