Teen's Wild Car Chase in Vienna

Published: 2024-08-22

In a dramatic turn of events in Vienna, a 14-year-old boy led police on a chase through the city in a stolen car, with his own father in pursuit.

The teenager, already known to authorities for previous offenses, was eventually apprehended and taken into custody.

The vehicle, reported stolen from Gänserndorf, was not initially taken by the boy, but he did receive the keys from an acquaintance.

The chase ended in Favoriten after the boy crashed into a garden fence and was stopped at a red light.

Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident.

The young driver now faces serious legal consequences, including multiple administrative charges.
