The Somali asylum seeker was arrested and taken to Korneuburg prison, the Lower Austria State Police Directorate reported on Thursday. When questioned, the accused refused to make a statement.
The crime is said to have been committed on Monday at around 11.30 p.m. The 17-year-old is believed to have met the young woman by chance at the train station. He is said to have first held the 14-year-old down, pushed her to the ground and then forced her to perform sexual acts.
The victim then informed her mother and filed a complaint. The 17-year-old was identified using video recordings and arrested on Wednesday in Korneuburg during an intervention on suspicion of cell phone theft.
