    “An American man has been arrested after a 21-year-old woman was sexually assaulted and thrown off a bridge at one of Germany’s most famous tourist attractions, authorities have said. The 30-year-old man met the two women, ages 21 and 22, on a hiking path near Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, a picturesque landmark that served as inspiration for Disney’s 1959 film Sleeping Beauty. He lured them onto a trail on Wednesday that leads to a viewpoint, police said in a statement, then “physically attacked” the younger woman. When her companion tried to intervene, he choked her and pushed her down a steep slope. The assailant then appears to have attempted to sexually assault the 21-year-old before pushing her down the slope as well. She fell nearly 50 metres (165 feet), ending up close to her friend.”
