A young Briton was raped by two men at Munich’s Oktoberfest on Saturday (Sept 27) while he was going to the toilet.
The 24-year-old man was attacked at around 9.30pm while relieving himself in a bush on the edge of the Theresienwiese field, near Munich City Centre, where the world's largest funfair is held annually.
A man came up to him and said he wanted to have sex with him, police said on Sunday (Sept 28), The Local, a German publication, reported.
After the victim rejected the advance, he was attacked from behind and forced to the ground. After that, one man held him down while the other man raped him.
