Male tourist, 28, ‘raped by 2 men’ after being dragged into old riverbed in Spanish holiday hotspot

A MALE tourist was allegedly raped by two men after being dragg

ed towards an old riverbed while visiting a Spanish holiday hotspot.

The 28-year-old told cops he was attacked on the last night of his break on the east coast city of Valencia.

He is said to have agreed to go for a walk with two men he had met in the neighbourhood of El Carmen in the early hours of June 18.

The duo then allegedly pounced on him after reaching an old riverbed and sexually assaulted him.

According to local media, the holidaymaker told officers his clothes were torn from him before being forced to have sex with the pair.

Police are now hunting two men "of Arabic origin with a French accent" who spoke only a few words of English.

The alleged victim attended Valencia’s La Fe Hospital in wake of the ordeal.

Reports said doctors found injuries consistent with rape during an examination.

National Police in Valencia could not be reached yesterday morning for comment regarding the incident, which has only just been made public.

No arrests are believed to have yet been made.

El Carmen is in the centre of Valencia's old town called the Ciutat Vella.

It is described on travel websites as a lively place during the day and an ideal place at night to go out for dinner, tapas, or a drink at one of the many local music bars and discos.
