An Austrian town has put a temporary ban on refugees after an alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl.
The girl was walking home alone April 25 when three men attacked her. The local prosecutor in Tulln, a town of about 15,000 people, ordered 59 male asylum seekers to submit DNA samples after the victims’ testimony.
An Afghan and a Somali citizen have since been arrested. A third suspect remains on the run.
Peter Eisenschenk, Tulln’s mayor, informed the regional government Tuesday that the town will not accept any refugees for the time being, newspaper Heute reports.
