Naked woman arrested at Westbahnhof

By Lisa Chapman

A woman was arrested after she stood in front of one of Vienna’s busiest train stations naked and shouted "who wants me?" at passersby.

Police said scared locals had called them after spotting the woman at a construction site at Vienna’s Westbahnhof or western railway station.

Vienna police spokesman Mario Hejl said today (Mon): "She was obviously disturbed and was put under a doctor’s care."

He added the incident had taken place in July but did not say why the news had only been released now.
