Between the Národní třída and Můstek metro stations, the young man asked the woman if he could reach for his thigh because he bet with friends.
“When the woman strictly plastered, he insisted, and then pressed himself against the woman. He rolled up her dress and rubbed it with his crotch, simulating copulation movements, “said police spokesman Richard Hrdina.
Although the woman defended herself, she failed to kill. She was able to do so with the help of another fellow passenger, who threw the young man out of the subway car at the station.
The case happened on September 6, but the police did not manage to track down the young man until Tuesday. Following the publication of the video with the suspicious man in the media, several witnesses came forward.
“The forensic scientists gained some information, based on which the suspicious man was identified. Now standard criminal proceedings are taking place with him, “Hrdina said on Wednesday.
The perpetrators face up to five years in prison for the crime of rape.
At the same time, the police were looking for witnesses to the attack to report to the police, including a woman who helped drive the young man away. The police will receive information about the case on line 158.
