British tourist, 39, is sexually assaulted and robbed after ‘good Samaritans’ offered to help outside a Spanish nightclub… then lured her away and attacked her
- Holidaymaker taken to hospital for medical tests after locals raised the alarm
Police are searching for two men and a woman after a British tourist was robbed and sexually assaulted as she left a club in Madrid.
The trio offered to help the 39-year-old woman after seeing her “disoriented and under the influence of alcohol” in the early hours of Thursday near a disco in a square in central Madrid.
But the so-called Good Samaritans, described locally as a Spanish woman and two men of African descent, instead led her to a bench where they stole all her belongings, including cash, jewelry and her cell phone.
One of the male thieves then fled, along with his female accomplice.
The second man reportedly stayed with his victim for a short time and sexually abused her on a bench in the street. He also ran away when he realized he had been seen by a bystander.
The trio offered to help the 39-year-old woman after seeing her “disoriented and under the influence of alcohol” in the early hours of Thursday morning near a disco in a central square in Madrid.
The holidaymaker was taken to hospital for a medical examination after locals raised the alarm.
Police will question the woman later today and will review surveillance camera footage in the area for clues.
The ongoing investigation is being led by a specialized women’s assistance unit of the national police, called UFAM.
There have been no reports of arrests so far.
