The Vienna police are currently investigating a 53-year-old man on suspicion of rape. The suspect, a taxi driver of Egyptian nationality working in Vienna, is alleged to have sexually assaulted a 28-year-old woman. According to the police, the alleged crime took place on September 4 in a container on Hofherr-Schrantz-Gasse 4 in Vienna-Floridsdorf.

Suspect Allegedly Brought Victim to Container

The woman reported to the police the day after the incident. According to her statement, she was intoxicated at the time of the crime and has since suffered from memory lapses. The cause of these memory gaps is still under investigation by the police.

According to the current state of investigations, the suspect is said to have approached the 28-year-old in front of a venue on Rechte Wienzeile and then taken her to the remote location. According to police reports, this is where the sexual assault occurred.

Police Release Images of Crime Scene

Based on further information, the Vienna State Criminal Police Office assumes that the suspect may have committed additional sexual assaults in the container in question. Photos of the crime scene have therefore been released to find possible further victims or witnesses.

The Vienna police are asking anyone who has made observations or may be affected themselves to come forward. Information can be provided – also anonymously – by calling 01-31310-33800 or at any police station.
