Man arrested after woman and 6 young children found living illegally in Austrian wine cellar

Austrian police said Monday they arrested a 54-year-old man after he attacked two social workers with pepper spray when they found him living illegally in a private wine cellar in northeastern Austria with a woman and six young children.

Police in the Austrian province of Lower Austria were still trying to determine the identity of six children, who were from 7 months to 5 years old.

Neighbors in Obritz, a small town near the Czech border, alerted local authorities last week that there was a family living illegally in a local wine cellar.
