London: An Iraqi migrant brutally raped a 10-year-old boy in Vienna and told the authorities that it was a 'sexual emergency' because he hadn't had sex in months.

The rape took place in a swimming pool cubicle.

It was so brutal that the boy had to be hospitalised for his injuries.

After the crime, the Iraqi was seen entertaining himself by jumping off a diving board at the pool.

A lifeguard who spotted the boy in tears called an ambulance to take him to hospital.

Police arrested the accused on the spot, and during interrogation, he told police that it was a 'sexual emergency', the MailOnline reported.

The Iraqi migrant, has a wife and a daughter in Iraq, had been working as a taxi driver in Vienna.

According to the authorities, the Iraqi man had entered the country through the Balkans on September 5.
