At approximately 3 a.m., a 37-year-old female was stabbed in a forest near the rail station, Novinky reports.
“The seriously injured woman then used all her might to walk to a restaurant several hundred meters away, where she fell unconscious. She was then taken to the hospital by the ambulance service,” said Karlovy Vary Regional Police spokesman Jakub Kopřiva.
Shortly afterwards, a 18-year-old girl was accosted blocks away by a man armed with a knife who demanded she perform sexual acts with him.
She lost consciousness during a struggle and was subsequently raped, police say.
The victim was hospitalized following the barbaric attack.
“The police quickly obtained a rough description of the perpetrator, an immediately began an intensive search in Karlovy Vary, in the city forests and around them and in other places in the Karlovy Vary region,” Kopřiva said.
“Very shortly after the receipt of this second notification, a suspicious man was detained as part of an intensive search by Karlovy Vary police officers.”
The suspect was identified as an Afghan male in his 20s who resides in Germany and likely crossed the border to party in the Czech city.
