Man Mistakes Building for Bank in Holdup

A man mistook a municipal building in southern Austria for a bank and tried to rob it.

The 34-year-old man thought a municipal building in the southern village of Poggersdorf was a bank because it had an ATM machine in the lobby.

The man fled the building after a woman he allegedly threatened with an air gun told him she had no money and that he had made a mistake.

The man, who is from Carinthia but was not identified by name, was arrested shortly after the incident.
