Vienna airport police chief Leo Lauber told the Standard: “He aimed for any jet it would seem, not one in particular. After wriggling under the fence he headed for the aircraft nearest to the fence. He had no idea where it was going to. Initial inquiries here seem to indicate he wanted to go abroad to find work.”

Sounds like he was spotted already in Vienna. (How else can the austrian police chief know such thing) Why didn't they take action in Austria then?

I don't know, try the Landespolizeikommando für Wien, tel. +43 1 31310 76220 or 76221, e-mail: lpk-w-aps2-infomanagement@polizei.gv.at

Well perhaps the police at Heathrow have questioned the man . Who has given them a statement. I assume the police (afterwards) have contacted Austrian security officials/police.

Sounds ligical isn't it ?
