17-Year-Old Injured, Motionless and with Overdose at Men's Place in Vienna-Simmering: Awakened from Coma

Her condition is stable, and she is not in life-threatening danger, the hospital said on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the evaluation of the phones of the men present in the apartment is still ongoing. The police are investigating on suspicion of rape against four men.

Vienna Police Investigate on Suspicion of Rape

One of them called the rescue services to the apartment on Geiselbergstraße at around 9:10 PM on Sunday, after the teenager was about to not wake up. The alerted emergency services found signs of drug poisoning and external injuries on the young woman's body, resuscitated her on site, and took her to the AKH. There, the girl from Lower Austria had been in an artificial deep sleep in the intensive care unit until recently.

The police are currently investigating on suspicion of rape. The four men are being treated as suspects, a police spokesperson said in response to an APA inquiry. They deny any sexual acts on the 17-year-old and remain at large. The forensic analysis, the examination of their phones, and further investigations are still ongoing, according to the state police department.

The men are Syrians aged between 21 and 35. Three of them live together in the apartment on Geiselbergstraße, and the fourth suspect is believed to be an acquaintance of the trio. The 17-year-old was reported missing by her parents last Friday and is reportedly known to the police for drug offenses, according to APA information. The men stated in their interrogation that they "met her on the street in Simmering" and only wanted to provide her with a place to sleep.
