He was looking at his cell phone
Police officers were almost mowed down by driver
Their quick reaction saved two police officers in Innviertel (Upper Austria) from a drama. A driver (20) from Lower Austria had driven towards the two police officers and they saved themselves by jumping out of the way. The man had been looking at his cell phone and wanted to operate something in the navigation system.
A police patrol carried out traffic checks in the municipality of Weng im Innkreis at around 8.50 a.m. on Tuesday. The officers positioned themselves in a bus stop bay. Out of nowhere, a black BMW 325 suddenly drove straight at the officers. They were only able to save themselves from a collision by jumping to the side. But that was not all: the driver simply continued on his way.
Caught in Braunau
In the course of a manhunt involving seven patrols from the Braunau district, the BMW was finally stopped in the Braunau district. The driver, a 20-year-old Turkish citizen from Lower Austria, was arrested.
During interrogation, the man stated that he was looking at his cell phone to operate the navigation system. He had also only slept for an hour and was therefore very tired. After consultation with the public prosecutor's journal service, he was released.
