Drugs, violence and sexual assaults – for years, many women in particular have avoided Linz’s main railway station – and for good reason: once again, it was the scene of an attempted rape. In broad daylight, a group of Afghans and Iraqis attacked a young girl. Unbelievable: The suspects themselves are only 14 and 15 years old!
A police helicopter flew over the City of Steel on Wednesday. It was requested to assist officers in the search for a sex offender from the migrant milieu. Near the main railway station, four men allegedly tried to rape a young woman at around 5.15 p.m. (!). Fortunately, police officers caught them in the act.
The young woman received medical treatment on Thursday, but police said it was not yet possible to question her. If this can take place on Thursday, the investigators hope to get more detailed information about the crime. The young men will only be questioned after the first questioning of the girl.
Three of the migrants were immediately arrested, a fourth was being searched for. The victim is said to be a teenager, the four alleged perpetrators are Afghans and Iraqis who are still minors themselves. It is still unclear whether they knew each other. Due to the crime scene, it cannot be ruled out that the victim could be a Ukrainian refugee. The assault took place in a stairwell behind the post distribution centre, which is currently used as emergency accommodation for Ukrainian displaced persons.
