Islamization of Austria > Muslim Rape Gangs and Dead Teen Girls in Austria

 

Muslim Rape Gangs in Austria

Jan 13, 2026 4:00 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald2 Comments

Muslim rape gangs are not to be found only in the U.K. They have spread across Europe, to Austria, where Arabs and Afghans have been plying vulnerable young girls with drugs and alcohol, to turn them into sex slaves. Some of the girls die as a result of overdosing on the drugs they are given. More on this spreading phenomenon can be found here:

‘Men of Arab descent’ accused of luring underage girls with drugs as 16-year-old girl found dead in Vienna hotel room

by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, January 9, 2026:

Underage girls in Austria are reportedly being approached by men of Arab descent who offer them drugs and promise more in Vienna, it has been claimed, after authorities revealed the death of another 16-year-old girl in a Viennese hotel room.

As reported by Heute, investigators have concluded that the victim likely died from a drug overdose after she was discovered in a hotel near Vienna’s Stadthalle on Oct. 31 last year. Information regarding the death was only released on Thursday.

According to Austrian broadcaster ORF, sexual exploitation by a migrant gang is among the scenarios being examined by investigators.

Heute reports that seven minors under the age of 18 who were under the supervision of child and youth services died in Vienna in 2025 as a result of drug use. Many of those affected are girls from unstable family environments or living in foster or group care.

Incidents are not limited to the Austrian capital, with Salzburg also reportedly a breeding ground for gangs preying on vulnerable young girls who are plied with drugs and alcohol, and exploited.

Belinda Plattner, head of child and adolescent psychiatry in Salzburg, told ORF that the scale of youth drug consumption has sharply increased. “We are currently seeing significantly more young people who use drugs. At least in Salzburg, this has never been the case to this extent before,” she said.

She told the broadcaster’s ZIB2 news program, “Girls have no value in this male-dominated society – they are worthless girls who can be easily manipulated. They are devalued – at the same time, they are lured to be taken into these apartments. And then, as they told me, sexual assaults repeatedly occur.”

Plattner described how girls aged 14 to 16 are deliberately targeted, particularly around Salzburg’s main train station. “The girls say that they are approached at Salzburg’s main train station by young men of Arab descent who offer them drugs and promise them even more drugs in Vienna. And many of these girls then go with them.”

Girls are then allegedly offered hard drugs like cocaine and crystal meth — both highly addictive substances — free of charge, and are initially treated with respect and invited to live with foreign men, “but often this leads to sexual abuse and demeaning behavior towards the girls,” Plattner said….

All over Austria, but especially in Vienna, Muslim males — Syrians, Afghans, Algerians, and many identified only as “Arabs” — have been raping, and gang-raping, vulnerable girls between the ages of 12 and 17. The girls are plied with hard drugs before being raped. Some have died of overdoses given them by their rapists, while other victims of repeated rapes, out of shame and despair, have overdosed.

There is only one way to deal with this burgeoning problem. And that is to halt all Muslim migration into Austria, and to round up Muslim migrants already in the country, and promptly deport them back to their countries of origin. Will the Austrian government summon the courage to do so, or will it be afraid of acting, like the British police who hesitated to investigate the grooming gangs in the U.K., lest it be accused of “racism” and ”islamophobia”?

Islamic Insanity > Vienna mass murderer was indeed acting as a Muslim moral guardian

 

Austria: Muslim migrant who murdered three prostitutes

visited a mosque before the attack

FEB 29, 2024 12:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

It increasingly appears as if Ebadullah A. was acting as the executor of the wrath of Allah, as the Qur’an directs Muslims to do: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and he will lay them low and give you victory over them, and he will heal the hearts of people who are believers. And he will remove the anger of their hearts.” (Qur’an 9:14-15).

3 prostitutes stabbed to death by Afghans in Vienna (video)

+UPDATE February 27th+ Mosque visit before crime

translated from “3 Prostituierte in Wien von Afghanen erstochen (Video) +UPDATE 27.02.+ Moscheebesuch vor Tat,” Unser Mitteleuropa, February 27, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):

Mosque visit before action!

The – as with such multicultural brawls from most mainstream media, responsible authorities and most politicians – trivialized reports that it was once again for the umpteenth time but really not something connected to fanatical Islam. The motive for the murder has now been made clear:

“Oe24” had already suspected that the prostitute killer Ebadullah A. could have acted as a self-proclaimed “moral guardian.” It now emerged from his police interviews that the 27-year-old Afghan had a fundamental problem with women. And that voices in his head ordered him to carry out the terrible slaughter of three Chinese sex workers.

The asylum seeker has now been transferred from police custody to the judiciary. Dien is now having a psychological expert clarify whether the suspect is sane or whether there are other reasons to rule out guilt.

The religious background that has now emerged is likely to be unpleasant:

As the left-wing Viennese city magazine “Falter” reports, the Afghan, who was not on drugs, “visited a mosque before the crime” and “called prostitution a ‘disgraceful business.’” He also “heard voices” and called prostitutes “witches”. (eXXpress)…

As I have contended many times, radicalized, devout Muslims are indeed criminally insane, without any doubt.  They need to be segregated from sane societies before they murder people for Allah, rather than after.

Austrian 'Girl in the Cellar' Still Visits Her Prison Ten Years Later

Natascha's story is one of a few that motivated me to start this blog. The girl is absolutely brilliant and has emerged from an 8.5 year ordeal remarkably well. I recently watched her story on Netflix and you can't help but be impressed with her remarkable wisdom. A few things she said at the end of the video left me wondering if she still has issues that need addressing and this story just adds to that concern. Still, she is an extraordinary young woman.

Austrian kidnapping victim Natascha Kampusch has relived the moment she made her escape from a house where she was kept prisoner for more than eight years.

The so-called "girl in the cellar" was locked up in a purpose-built jail  cell under the house and kept under constant surveillance by disturbed loner Wolfgang Priklopil.

During her eight-and-a-half-year imprisonment she was subjected to horrific abuse by Priklopil, such as being stripped, starved and beaten and sexually abused.

This week marks the tenth (actually, it's the 11th) anniversary of her escape, when she managed to run away from her captor after he was distracted by a phone call.

3096 is based on the book 3096 Days, Natascha herself wrote, and is probably better done than the documentary I watched on Netflix last night. 

Ms Kampusch bought the property in 2008 for a reported £200,000, going against the advice of psychologists who said she needed to move on.

Despite the horrors she witnessed in the house,  Ms Kampusch has disclosed that even today she still visits the place to make sure it is kept in order. 

Speaking to German newspaper Bild, the 28-year-old revealed that she spends several nights a week in her former prison and still carries a photograph of Priklopil in her handbag.

The escape

In the first detailed account of her bid for freedom on August 23 2006, she said: "I was told to clean his car ... He wanted to sell it and had told me to clean it really thoroughly and completely.  

"I remember that I felt like I could eat a horse because I had to make him jam sandwiches for breakfast but got nothing myself."

Later that evening, her 44-year-old kidnapper was briefly distracted when he took a call on his mobile phone.

"Previously he has observed me all the time," she said, "but because of the vacuum cleaner whirring in my hand he had to walk a few steps away to better understand his caller."

"I crept to the gate which was usually closed or blocked by heavy objects, but not on this day."

"I could hardly breathe. I felt solidified, as if my arms and legs were paralysed. Jumbled images shot through me."

Ms Kampuschthen dashed to a nearby allotment where she asked two men to call the police - but they ignored her.

She eventually knocked on another neighbour's window and persuaded her to raise the alarm.

In 2008 she bought the house where she spent her lost teenager years to prevent it being vandalised. 

Ms Kampusch was just ten years old when she was kidnapped by Priklopil as she walked to school. 

A new investigation into his suspected suicide is underway, amid suspicions that he may have been murdered by a local paedophile ring in an attempted cover-up. 

Kampusch, herself, says there was no such thing as a paedophile ring in her experience.

8 Iraqi Men Jailed for Gang-Rape of German Tourist in Austria

Nine to 13 years

Eight Iraqi asylum seekers have been sentenced by an Austrian court to between nine and 13 years in jail for the brutal gang-rape of a 28-year-old German woman during New Year’s celebrations over a year ago.

A group nine Iraqi nationals, between 22 and 48 years, were arrested last summer in Vienna and two other Austrian provinces and charged with “abuse of a defenseless person and rape in a very humiliating and agonizing way for the victim.”

Charges against one suspect were dropped, as investigators found that he was asleep during the assault.

All members of the same family, the men came to Austria as migrants between May and December 2015. Five of them already had refugee status at the time of the assault, while the other four had their applications pending.

Vienna New Year's Eve 2016

The brutal assault took place on 2015/2016 New Year’s Eve, as the victim from the northern German state of Lower Saxony came to Vienna to celebrate with her female friend. The victim got “separated” from her friend during the festivities and met four reportedly drunk Iraqis at some point after midnight. They took advantage of her heavily intoxicated state and brought her to a flat, where five other men were waiting.

The perpetrators assaulted the victim for several hours, and the savage attack left the woman in need of medical and psychological treatment. “Nothing makes me happy anymore,” her lawyer quoted her as saying.

Only one of the perpetrators has reportedly acknowledged the rape and showed some remorse, while others either claimed the sex to have been “consensual” or have denied it altogether.

The investigating team, however, managed to prove their horrific assault with DNA and video evidence.

The quite harsh sentences imposed on the eight Iraqis might serve as a “warning” for all the migrants coming to Austria, Defense lawyer Andreas Reichenbach believes.

“As we all know, asylum-seekers don't have the best image here in Austria,” AP quoted him as saying. “I think that this surely played a certain role, to make it clear to these people that when they come to Austria that such behavior won't be tolerated.”

The victim was awarded damages of €25,000 ($26,265). Both prosecution and defense teams said they might appeal the court ruling, Reuters reported, citing the court spokesperson.

Migrants from other countries expressed fear that such outrageous cases might incite hostility against them to a whole new level and condemned the attack.

“Eight people raping a woman – that's honor-less! Such a thing doesn't exist in our religion,” a migrant from Turkey, Burhan Akbas told AP.

I'm sorry; what planet do you live on? Is it more 'honorable if only 4 people rape a woman, or just 2 or 3? Does marrying 9 year olds exist in your religion? Does taking sex slaves exist in your religion? Have you actually read the Quran?

Sexual related attacks and incidents have been on the rise amid EU’s migrant crisis. Last year, mass sexual abuse transpired in the German city of Cologne, perpetrated by a group of men allegedly of North African and Arab descent, although police failed to identify all the attackers.

Ahead of New Year celebrations this year, police in Austria’s capital Vienna took precautions and distributed 6,000 special “anti-rape” pocket alarms among women. The devices emit a shrill sound to deter potential perpetrators and alert police.

Despite the measures, at least 18 sexual assaults occurred during this year’s revelry in the Austrian city of Innsbruck, where women were reportedly groped by a gang of “individuals.”

Voodoo Used to Force Women into Sex Trade - Austrian Police

Voodoo rituals are being used to force women into prostitution, according to Austrian police, who have arrested two Nigerian nationals on suspicion of human trafficking.

The two suspects - one male one female, are considered leading members of a criminal organization - were arrested by Austrian authorities in Vienna, and accused of engaging in the international sex trade.

Police spokesman Johann Baumschlager said Tuesday that at least 10 young Nigerian women were forced into the sex trade in part by "a voodoo priest, who made them submissive through certain rites." The women worked as hairdressers in their home country, according to Der Standard.

The victims had been intimidated and threatened with death if they did not comply with the organization’s orders, OE24 reported.

Baumschlager revealed that the women were told they each owed €50,000 ($53,000) to cover the costs of their move to Europe and that they needed to work off the debt through prostitution. The women had hardly any money left to provide for themselves, according to police.

The pair who were arrested are not being named due to Austrian privacy laws, but the man is reportedly cooperating with police while the woman denies the allegations.

Last year, six refugee women from Nigeria were rescued by Austria's anti-human trafficking force after being sold into forced prostitution. The women reportedly believed they were under a voodoo curse and were particularly submissive for fear their families would suffer the consequences.

Voodoo, a religion of West African origin, is based on animism but also borrows some elements from Catholicism. Worshippers believe in the power of spirits and often perform rituals to them.

Nigeria, at least Northern Nigeria, is one of the worst places in the world to be a girl. How tragic that when they escape to a better country they end up being sexually trafficked by their own countrymen. Austria needs to throw the book at these two and make it very clear such evil will not be tolerated.

9 Iraqi Gang Rapists Cannot be Deported from Austria

By David Frankenhuis

In the Austrian capital of Vienna, nine Iraqi men are now on trial for kidnapping and gang-raping a 28-year-old German woman nearly 14 months ago, on New Year’s Eve 2016. The suspects, between 23 and 47 years of age, are all relatives. They entered Austria as asylum seekers.

This makes no sense!

The migrants may face 15 years in jail for their crimes. After serving their sentences, they cannot be deported to Iraq since that country has reintroduced the death penalty in 2004, Kronen Zeitung reports today.

This is just odd; are they facing charges in Iraq? If not, and if they have paid for their crimes by serving time in Austrian prisons, what is stopping them from being deported? They won't have to face court in Iraq for gang-raping a woman in Austria, so what does it matter if Iraq has the death penalty. Unless they are facing criminal charges warranting a possible death sentence, then there is no reason not to deport them. If they are, do you really want to keep them in Austria? It makes no sense. How many Austrian girls will suffer abuse because of this nonsensical ruling?

Just two weeks ago I posted a story of an 18 y/o who raped a 72 y/o woman (see second story). He won't be deported because he has no prior record. The fact that he had only been in Austria for 2 months seems to have been lost on officials.

Only one of the Arabs has confessed to the rape charges. Some of the other migrants have admitted to having ‘sex’ with the victim, named Julia, but deny any claims of coercion in the ordeal lasting more than two hours.

They even dared to state in court that “the woman had initiated all of it,” which is rather flippant considering the fact that Julia was carried away from a restaurant by four of the men to an apartment several miles away, after being plied with drinks that possibly were spiked.

Vienna Christmas market

In the apartment, 5 male relatives of the men were waiting. All of the wives and daughters had been sent away in advance in order to create some ‘privacy’. One of the Iraqis later told police:

“The room should be dark, we had decided, so she did not realise how many of us were present at the time, but she caused trouble by crying so much and sometimes by trying to fight back against us.”

Then all of the 9 refugees raped the terrified victim, some of whom even violated her more than once. Following the gang rape during the NYE festivities, the men took selfies with her and one was even “dancing and singing,” OE24 yesterday reported.

When the ordeal was finally over, the men dumped Julia near a tram station. The disoriented and traumatised woman was then found by passers-by, who brought her to a police station.

Julia has since quit her job and was hospitalised in a psychiatric clinic. She has been diagnosed with severe post-traumatic disorder and depression.

Iraqi Refugee who Raped 10yo Boy due to ‘Sexual Emergency’ Given 7 Years

An Iraqi refugee convicted of raping a 10-year-old boy at a Vienna swimming pool has had his sentence increased from six to seven years in prison as the result of a retrial.

A Vienna court slapped 21-year-old Amir A. with the longer prison sentence, after finding him guilty of serious sexual assault and rape of a minor.

The retrial came after a previous sentence of six years was overturned in October after a defense lawyer argued that the lower court had not done enough to determine whether the rapist had realized that the boy was saying no.

However, the court determined on Tuesday that sexual assault did, in fact, meet the conditions defining rape, Kronen Zeitung reported.

In addition to the sentence, the compensation the rapist must pay his victim’s family was also increased, from €4,700 (US$4,938) to €5,000 ($5,253).

The assault took place in December of 2015 at Theresienbad pool in Vienna, where the man dragged a young boy, known only as Goran, into the changing rooms before locking the door and violently raping him.

The incident left the boy in need of emergency treatment, which he was given at a local children’s hospital. He continues to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), his mother reportedly told the court.

After raping the boy, Amir A. went back to the swimming pool and acted as if nothing had happened. However, the police were called after the boy told a lifeguard that he had been attacked.

On being confronted, the perpetrator admitted to the rape, explaining that, though he knew it was wrong, he had had a “sexual emergency” because he had not had sex in four months.

Tuesday’s sentence is not final, however, and can still be appealed.

Crimes by migrants up 32% from last year

A number of similar attacks committed by asylum seekers at swimming pools have been reported in Austria and elsewhere in Europe. Earlier this year, the Austrian town of Mistelbach issued a temporary pool ban on refugees after a “dark-skinned” man reportedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl at a public pool.

The incidents have strengthened anti-migrant sentiment in Austria, which saw some 90,000 asylum seekers arrive in 2015 amid the wider European refugee crisis.

Data released by the Austrian newspaper Krone in September found that some 11,158 asylum seekers were suspected of committing crimes in Austria in the first half of 2016, compared to 15,236 in the whole of 2015. 

2 asylum seekers suspected of sexually harassing 5 girls in German swimming pool

Bad Oldesloe pool

Two asylum seekers are under investigation after five teenage girls claimed they were sexually harassed by the men in a swimming pool in Germany, police confirmed.

The incident took place in the town of Bad Oldesloe in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein on Saturday, police said in their report.

The preliminary information released by police suggested that the girls, aged between 12 and 14, were “touched under water” by “two southern-looking” male persons. The teenagers then reported the incident to a lifeguard who ejected the men from the pool and called law enforcement.

The men in question were later confirmed to be asylum seekers, aged 23 and 34, who were living in Bad Oldesloe. Police have opened investigation into the case, but did not provide the nationalities of the alleged perpetrators.

According to Vereinigte Stadtwerke GmbH which operated the pool in question, the facility has only one camera at the entrance and police have taken the tape for evaluation.

“One should be careful. In no time people’s [image] is being massively damaged following such statements,” Hartmut Jokisch, an activist at a local intercultural center stressed, adding that it’s up to authorities now to make the final judgment. 

Remarkable! No concern for the girls whatsoever! Protect the migrants; throw the girls under the bus.

Similar incidents in Germany involving asylum seekers and carried out especially at leisure centers and swimming pools have been widely reported by the local media over recent months.

In April 2016, a 27-year-old migrant was arrested for a sexual attack on two nine-year-old girls at a swimming pool in the German town of Rendsburg.

Another German city, Norderstedt, also in Schleswig-Holstein, saw a similar attack in early March 2016, after which two asylum-seekers, an adult man and a 14-year-old boy, were charged with attempted rape. They were mandated to remain in custody without bail by a court due to the risk of repeating the offence.

The most striking case of sexual assault by refugees occurred in Germany on New Year’s Eve 2015: there were cases of 881 sexual offences involving over 1,231 women, a German Police report from November revealed.

Apart from Germany, sex attacks allegedly took place in Sweden, Austria, Finland and Switzerland last year.

The vast majority in Sweden have been covered up and kept secret by the police and the Swedish media seem content to keep it that way.

18 Sex Assaults in Innsbruck NYE But Questions About Cologne

Innsbruck women suffered at least 18 sex attacks amid New Year festivities

Austrian authorities are investigating an unprecedented number of sexual assaults that occurred on New Year’s Eve in the western city of Innsbruck. Eighteen women have so far reported being groped by a crowd of “individuals.”

A group of around 10 unidentified individuals carried out the sexual assaults on young women at Innsbruck’s main square where around 25,000 people gathered on New Year’s Eve, senior police official Ernst Kranebitter said, according to The Local.

“We’ve not had anything like this happen here before,” Kranebitter added, as quoted by AFP. 

Get used to it Ernst, it's the new normal!

“They were dancing around the victims and then suddenly grabbed their breast or stuck their hands between their legs. That’s what made it hard for others to notice what was going on – it all happened amid festivities.”

The attackers have been described as young people in their late teens, according to Kranebitter.

Poor quality amateur video of the assaults hasn’t been of help to investigators.

The incident is reminiscent of last year’s sexual attacks in the German city of Cologne carried out by a group of men allegedly of Arab and North African descent. In that incident, authorities failed to identify all of the assailants.

Does this make sense to you?

A German police report from November revealed that a total of 881 sexual offences involving over 1,231 women were committed last year in Cologne.

881 sexual offences involving 1231 women! How can there be 350 more women than sexual offences. Apparently, if you assault two women at the same time, that is only one assault! One is a freebee. Another source says 2000 men were involved. Wouldn't that insinuate that 2000 sexual assaults had occurred. If not, what were the other 1119 men doing? I can only conclude that if 5 men grab the same girl, that is counted as one sex assault not 5. This is called 'cooking the books'.

This appears to be another example of European police still under-playing the dangers to girls and women created by migrants. That is the biggest criminal act here.

Ahead of New Year celebrations, police in Austria’s capital Vienna distributed 6,000 “anti-rape” pocket alarms in a bid to step up security and help prevent such incidents. The gadgets emit a shrill sound to deter potential offenders and call for police if needed.

Austria also increased police presence on the streets ahead of the New Year’s festivities following the terror attack at a Christmas market in Berlin, Germany, on 19 December which claimed lives of 12 people and injured 56 more. Austrian Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said in December that Austria was well prepared for any attacks, though it was impossible to provide “100 percent security”.

Apart from Germany, Sweden, Austria, Finland, and Switzerland also reported a number of sex attacks last year.

Amazingly, very few reports exist from Europe this year. Innsbruck makes it clear that assaults are still happening and perhaps increasing, but there seems to be a blanket of silence over the rest of Europe. Is that coming from the police, the governments, the media, the EU? It's a disgrace whoever is responsible for it. European women and girls need more protection than migrant boys and men with no self-control.

Iraqi Refugee who Raped 10yo Boy at Austrian Swimming Pool has Conviction Overturned

The good news is, he is still in custody until

his re-trial next year

An Iraqi refugee who raped a 10-year-old boy at a swimming pool, calling it a “sexual emergency,” has had his conviction overturned after a court in Austria concluded that the 20-year-old attacker may have been unaware the boy did not want to be abused.

The assailant, identified as Amir A., was taken to the Theresienbad pool in Vienna in December of last year as part of the integration process into Austrian society. He was also provided with a 15-year-old translator to help him integrate.

Once at the pool, Amir A, who had worked as a taxi driver in Iraq, dragged a 10-year-old schoolboy into the changing rooms, locked the door and violently sexually assaulted him.

 The boy, known only by his first name, Goran, told a lifeguard he had been attacked, and the police were called. He suffered severe internal injuries and was rushed to a children's hospital. He is still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

After the incident, Amir A. reportedly returned to the swimming pool as if nothing had happened, continuing to have fun and using the diving board.

The assailant, who came to Austria via the Balkans in September 2015, confessed to the rape, saying he had acted because of a “sexual emergency” as he had not had sex for four months. When asked if such actions were legal in his home country, he admitted he knew that “such acts were forbidden in any country of the world,” Kronen Zeitung daily reported.

So, he dragged the the boy into the changing room; he locked the door; he caused severe internal injuries to the boy; he knew it was illegal behaviour; but he didn't know the boy didn't want to be sexually assaulted! How does that make any sense? Anyone suffering severe internal injuries is going to be screaming in pain; how can that be interpreted as consent? Did the rapist cover the boy's mouth to mask the screaming? Isn't sodomy by an adult with a 10 year old child considered rape regardless of circumstances, in Austria?

In June, a court found Amir guilty of grave sexual assault and rape of a minor, and sentenced him to six years in prison. A court awarded the boy’s family €4,730 (US$5,150) in compensation after prosecutors described him as suffering “profound despair,” the newspaper reported.

But on Thursday, the Supreme Court overturned the verdict and ordered a retrial, Heute reported.

The court ruled that while the verdict with regard to the serious sexual abuse of a minor was “watertight,” the written verdict on the conviction of rape cannot be sufficiently proved.

The new trial is likely to take place in 2017, until which time the 20-year-old will remain in custody. In the event that the charge of rape is proved in the new trial, the attacker could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison, Vienna Online reported.

The mother of the victim, who herself moved to Austria as a Serbian refugee, said her son suffers from severe panic attacks and can only sleep with the  help of medication. He "screams and cries" and is "often frightened," she said, as reported by Heute.

There have been a number of reports of similar attacks by asylum seekers at swimming pools across Austria and elsewhere in Europe.

A 37-year-old mother and her four-year-old son were subjected to a sexual assault in the quiet southern Austrian town of Klagenfurt in March, Kurier daily reported.

Authorities in the Austrian town of Mistelbach issued a temporary pool ban for refugees following a sexual assault by a “dark-skinned’ man on a 13-year-old girl in June.  According to Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung, the girl was first followed by a young man into the women’s changing room. Once there, he forced her to perform oral sex. The girl, however, fiercely resisted and started shouting, forcing the attacker to flee.
