Police are appealing for witnesses to the horrific attack, which took place in the Lohmühlenpark, and have released descriptions of the men based on the woman’s recollections.
She described all five of them as being of African appearance. Four of them were between 20 and 30 years old, about six feet tall and were wearing dark clothes.
The fifth was older, probably around 40, was taller than the others and had distinctive “bright dots” on both cheeks. He also had a thicker figure and was wearing a green or turquoise shirt with stripes of glitter around the chest area, and a dark jacket.
Germany has been rocked by a number of sex attacks, some carried out by recently arrived refugees, in the last year since the horrific mass assaults and rapes in the city of Cologne on New Year’s Eve 2015.
