Somali in Bavaria Sexually Assaults 10 Year Old Girl

It was the horror ride of her life!

[Bild] The student Maria (10) came to Dorfen (Upper Bavaria) on Friday with the RB40 train.  At the train station, her aunt Anna (22) was waiting at five to five on platform 2. But the blonde girl will never forget what happened in the carriage according to police investigations.

The Somali refugee Mahdi A. (28) sat next to her and repeatedly stroked Maria's bare legs and knees against her will.  He reportedly screamed and moaned loudly.  That would be sexual harassment!

The man has been in custody since Wednesday.  The judiciary had initially let him go!

Unbelievable: Mahdi A. is said to have chased the crying girl through the train, according to police circles.  He is also said to have pursued his child and aunt at the train station in Dorfen.  Both then sought shelter in a snack bar. 

 ►The Turkish cook Abdi Sahin (22, has lived here for a year) opposed the Somali and protected Maria and her aunt.  He later told BILD: "It’s a matter of honour.  That's how I was raised.” Police officers finally rushed over and took the Somali to ground: ARREST!

Background: The drunk man has been in Germany since November 2015.  An asylum procedure failed.  His tolerance expired in June and was then extended.  He lives in Germany with an “enforceable obligation to leave the country”.

A police officer quickly established that Mahdi A. is no stranger to the authorities.  The register contains entries for property, violent and narcotics offences.  The innkeeper later tells of the Somali's alleged threats: "I'll destroy you, I'll take you all apart."

 How Mahdi A. describes the incident

 ►On Tuesday, reporters visited the Somali in his accommodation in Mühldorf in Upper Bavaria.  Mahdi said he's been in prison twice for drug-related offenses.  He doesn't have a job.  He gets unemployment benefits.

 The man denies the incidents in Dorfen: "I just tapped the child's knee to calm her down." He admits that he spat at the police officers during his preliminary arrest.  These had previously hurt his arm.

Often has trouble with the police: Mahdi A. (28)

 Justice let him go – but now he is in custody

 At first no.  BECAUSE: The public prosecutor's office in Landshut let Mahdi A. run again!  This was confirmed by a spokesman on a BILD request for comment.  That meant first of all: no detention!  The public prosecutor: "The suspect, who has a Duldung (provisional residence) in Germany, is not yet in custody." The investigations continued, "under high pressure".

Then the turning point: The suspect was provisionally arrested by the police late Tuesday evening.  At the request of the Landshut public prosecutor's office, an arrest warrant was issued around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday.  Reason: "Strong suspicion of sexual harassment and threats."

Now Mahdi A. is in jail.

The public prosecutor confirms: "He was brought to a correctional facility today after being presented to the district court in Landshut."  His apartment in Mühlbach was searched and two cell phones were confiscated.

The Federal Police are responsible for criminal offenses in train stations.  Chief trade unionist Heiko Teggatz to BILD: "I have absolutely no idea why detention was not ordered immediately, followed by detention pending deportation.  That was grossly negligent."

Interior expert Stefan Heck (CDU) to BILD: “Anyone who behaves like this has definitely not long to reside in our country.  Here, the only solution is detention and then quickly back to Somalia!”
