A 37-year-old mother and her 4-year-old son were sexual harassed by an immigrant in a swimming pool in southern Austrian town of Klagenfurt.

The woman was swimming in the pool with her son on Sunday, when she was approached by a man who hardly spoke German and started harassing her, according to Kurier newspaper.

Things went awry when she rejected him: the man, who was later described by the police as a brown-eyed foreigner in his 50s, strong and fit, jumped into the children’s play pool and grabbed her 4-year-old son.

He then put the boy on his shoulders and started running into a grotto behind a fake waterfall at the swimming park, as RT reports.

The panicked mother ran after the man and found him in the grotto with her son. The man did not have time to hurt the child. But, then the attacker grabbed her and started groping inside her swimming costume and putting his hand on her private parts and breasts.

The mother managed to escape with her son, while the man left the place shortly after the assault. The police investigate the case using also CCTV footage.
