Parents had notified the police after they spotted the 25-year-old in the courtyard of a street in Austrian capital Vienna’s Favoriten district.

According to police spokesman Thomas Keiblinger, the Syrian national was watching the children in the playground while he was masturbating.

When he saw the parents of the children calling the police, he fled the scene.

The police eventually managed to apprehend the unnamed Syrian man because the parents were able to give a detailed and thorough description.

They then identified him a short while later and he was arrested.

It is currently unclear whether he has been charged.

A migrant was detained yesterday in Germany on suspicion of raping a pensioner, 79, in a cemetery while she was mourning by her sister's grave.

The man – originally from Eritrea – was charged with rape and placed into custody while police investigate the case.

These shocking incidents come just weeks after a secret report exposed the 'migrant swimming pool sex crime crisis' in Germany.

It revealed a huge increase in victims of sexual offences at leisure centres across major cities.
