(Breitbart) Two members of Austria’s elite Cobra police unit were injured Saturday after the mother of a wanted Islamic extremist hit them with her vehicle as officers were trying to arrest her son.
The incident took place on Saturday in the town of Sellrain near Innsbruck after Austrian authorities had been given a tip by a foreign intelligence agency that the 18-year-old Turkish-born man had threatened to cut the heads off of police officers in posts online.
Following an investigation by the Directorate of Intelligence and State Security (DNS), the elite anti-terrorism Cobra police unit arrived in the town and surrounded the suspect who was with his mother in a vehicle. But the officers themselves were attacked when the man’s mother attempted to run over the elite unit members, Kronen Zeitung reports.
