Police are investigating allegations that a tourism worker raped two British women on a Greek holiday island.
The women, both aged 18, told police they met the man during a trip to Zakynthos and went to hospital for treatment and examination after the alleged attack.
They also called their families about the issue. When the mother of one of the women heard about the alleged attack, she flew out Greece and tracked down the suspect at his workplace.
Tensions quickly rose and the mother attacked him, prompting police intervention.
Officers are now investigating the allegations and the investigation is ongoing.
In July, an 18-year-old British woman accused a 50-year-old security guard of sexually assaulting her while she was on holiday in Malia, Crete.
The tourist claimed that a man, who did not know her, stopped her outside a hotel in the early hours.
He then took her to a secluded spot where he raped her, she alleged.

The woman then reported the incident to local police, who were able to locate and arrest the suspect.
According to local reports, he works as a security guard and is from the island’s Heraklion region.
In a separate incident, an 18-year-old woman was raped by a fellow British holidaymaker in Crete after being followed into a bar bathroom in June.
After the alleged incident was reported to Greek police, a 19-year-old was arrested and taken to the Heraklion courthouse.
The woman is believed to have met the alleged attacker once before meeting him again at a bar in Malia, but had not maintained “friendly relations”, according to local media outlet Cretalive.
The British woman claimed the young man then led her to the bathroom of the bar in the island’s vibrant party town where he allegedly raped her.
He reportedly denied the allegations and claimed they had consensual intercourse.
The Daily Mail has contacted the British Foreign Office for comment.
