After the rape of a young girl on New Year’s Eve, the Vienna police have now been able to arrest a suspect – a 22-year-old North African. The Libyan remains silent on the charges.
It all started at a New Year’s Eve party in a flat in the Stimmering district of Vienna, where the later victim had met her tormentor. After the two had partied and drunk together, the migrant made clear advances to the girl – who, according to the police, was of “high school age” – but she refused. But the African could not be dissuaded, pulled out a pistol and attacked the young woman.
Party guests eventually noticed them missing and discovered the injured victim. The alleged perpetrator initially fled. However, the next day the police were able to arrest the man in his flat in Vienna-Meidling. He is now in custody, but denies having committed the crime. A weapon and drugs were found on him, and he is already known to the police for minor property offences.
There is still no trace of the three men who allegedly raped a 17-year-old girl in Vienna’s city park on New Year’s Eve.
