German officers said the 28-year-old man harassed the woman, 56, on Tuesday morning at a centre in Viechtach, Bavaria.
He tried to kiss her against her will and grabbed her chest "several times", according to shocking reports.
The migrant, who is Nigerian, only left her alone after a co-worker came to the woman's defence.
He is understood to have been living at the accommodation for more than a year.
The man – who has not been named – was briefly arrested by police and admitted carrying out the attack.
But according to local media, he was soon released and has been since moved to different accommodation.
