Yesterday, we posted an article about riots in Linz, Austria on Halloween. Below is an article in today's Austrian press (Heute) about riots in Vienna the same night. In the article, there is a video of a "youth" firing a gun into the air and screaming, "Allahu akhbar", as well as a few F-bombs.

The article is translated by Fousesquawk.

"Allahu akhbar" Man shoots gun off in Vienna

On Halloween, (rioters) left a trail of devastation in Vienna. Along with illegal fireworks, a gun was also fired in the air.

Scenes of fear and terror. In Linz, serious riots occurred on Monday evening; also in Vienna, young men caused numerous police and WEGA (Special Operations Unit) operations. In Floridsdorf, garbage containers and telephone booths were blown up. While in the Sonnwend quarter, firecrackers were thrown into crowds of people and caused panic, (and) numerous residents reported hearing gunshots. The police could not, however, confirm this on Tuesday.

Shots and cries of "Allahu akhbar"

Now a video has surfaced that provides the sad evidence for the escalation in the above evening. A band of youths moves completely unhindered and screaming in the Sonnwend quarter near the Vienna Central Train Station. A young man walks with a gun in his hand along the street, screaming, "Allahu akhbar" (God is Great in Arabic) and fires several times in the air.

"Scenes like in war"

"There were scenes like in war," describes one witness of Halloween night in Favoriten (Vienna district) that obviously completely escalated. Concerned residents alerted police the same evening.- a WEGA operation was the result. However, nobody was cited because the suspects fled in all directions when they heard the sirens. According to State Police in Vienna, nobody was injured in the incidents. Shell cases were initially not found. A resident of the surrounding houses collected them at daybreak, however, and turned them over to the police.
