Austria: An Afghan man threatens two 13-year-old girls with a knife because they did not want to be sexually harassed by him

The day before yesterday, the police was called to the Prater in Vienna after an altercation between a group of girls and a man. Two girls from this group (both 13 years old) claimed to have been sexually harassed by the Afghan man.

Then he threatened them with a knife.

Witness questioning on the spot confirmed these statements, which is why the 32-year-old was arrested provisionally. A knife was seized in his possession. For the time being, the man denied the girls’ statements. He is being held by the police and is under investigation.
