A TOURIST has been allegedly gang raped by five men in Paris just days before the Olympics gets underway.
The 25-year-old Australian woman told cops she was left with a ripped dress and forced to flee into a kebab shop with her underwear in her hand after the alleged attack.
The distressed woman claimed she had been attacked by five men at around 5am on Saturday with them also stealing her phone.
She managed to escape into the Dounia kebab shop on Boulevard de Clichy, near to the iconic Moulin Rouge cabaret theatre, before calling the cops.
The alleged victim was then taken to Bichat hospital "disoriented and unable to speak a word of French," say onlookers.
The woman was reportedly in Paris for the Fete de Musique music festival.
