Police in Vienna were called after a suspected hit-and-run that led to a cocaine seizure and left two officers injured. The incident was reported on 8 November 2026 at 16:30 in the 15th district, Jehringgasse. After a traffic crash between two cars at the crossing of Avedikstraße and Lehnergasse, one driver suspected the other was under the influence and considered reporting it. Instead, the second driver fled and allegedly a companion took over the car and also escaped. Officers from the Polizeiinspektion Storchengasse found the crash vehicle shortly afterwards in Jehringgasse. The man at the wheel was tested for alcohol and recorded 0.6 promille. His licence was provisionally withdrawn at a nearby police station. When officers returned to the parked car, they saw a man filming it with a mobile phone. A passport found inside the vehicle had data matching the registration holder, allowing police to identify the man as the suspected original driver. The suspect is a 32-year-old Serbian national. Because he showed signs that he may have been impaired by drugs, police began a personal search. The man suddenly struck an officer on the upper body and tried to flee. Officers pursued and quickly caught him, arresting him. During the official procedure, two police officers were injured, and one of them could not continue his duty. During the personal search, police seized 13 small bags of cocaine, including 12 smaller and one larger package.
