Taxi driver under suspicion
Shock in Vienna: Woman raped in container?
Horrific scenes are said to have taken place in Vienna at the beginning of September: A young woman (28) was reportedly the victim of a brutal rape. The focus of the investigators: a 53-year-old cab driver from Egypt. He is considered a suspect.
According to the Vienna police, the man is said to have approached the intoxicated woman outside a pub on Rechte Wienzeile on September 4. Instead of taking her home safely, it is suspected that he lured her into a container in Floridsdorf.
"On the way there, he told her that he had forgotten something at home and that they would have to take a short detour," reported police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger. They then drove to a petrol station. The suspect probably bought something to drink there, according to the investigations carried out so far by the State Office of Criminal Investigation. "They then drove on to Floridsdorf." In the area of Hofherr-Schrantz-Gasse, the two finally entered a construction site and climbed a ladder into a container.
There, the 53-year-old is said to have given her cocaine and a drink. "From this point on, the woman has no more memories," said Haßlinger. According to the police, this was followed by sexual abuse.
Could not be an isolated case
The victim only contacted the police the day after the alleged crime. She suffers from memory lapses. What is particularly shocking is that, according to the findings so far, the assault may not be an isolated incident. Investigators believe that the suspect may have already committed other crimes in the container!
The Egyptian man told the police that "everything was voluntary and consensual", as Haßlinger described it. The man is now being investigated on suspicion of rape and abuse of a defenceless person. He has been reported at large.
According to the police, neighbors also made conspicuous observations. They stated that they had repeatedly seen a cab driver with women in the area of the container. According to investigators, the cab was a white Toyota car.
The Vienna police are therefore urgently appealing for help: anyone with information or who has been a victim should contact the State Criminal Police Office (01/31310-33800) or any police station - even anonymously.
Photos of the crime scene have been published by order of the public prosecutor's office in order to find further victims or witnesses.
