After the alleged attack, the woman managed to escape to the Dounia kebab shop on Boulevard de Clichy.

The desperate woman said she was attacked by five men at around 5 a.m. on Saturday, who also stole her phone.

She managed to escape to the Dounia kebab shop on Boulevard de Clichy, near the famous Moulin Rouge cabaret, before calling the police.

The alleged victim was subsequently admitted to Bichat Hospital “disoriented and unable to speak a word of French,” observers report.

When she left the hospital, her dress looked like it was turned inside out, according to local media.

The woman was reportedly attending the Fete de Musique music festival in Paris.

She was supposed to fly home to Australia just one day before the alleged attack.

The Paris public prosecutor’s office has now launched an investigation into the woman’s statements and will review video surveillance in the area.

A statement said: “The investigation into the charge of gang rape, which is believed to have taken place on the night of July 19-20, has been entrusted to the Second Criminal Investigation District.”

The Alliance Paris Police union added that investigators “will do everything possible to quickly identify the individuals and bring them to justice.”

This comes as Paris seeks to ensure its security ahead of the Olympic Games, which begin on Friday.

Paris 2024 is likely to be the most heavily guarded Games ever: after months of growing security concerns, over 60,000 police officers and soldiers, drones, helicopters and massively increased AI surveillance will be deployed.

The robust defense system is spearheaded by over 45,000 police officers and a huge force of up to 18,000 soldiers.

France’s largest troop deployment since World War II is intended to ensure the safety of the 15 million visitors and 10,500 participants in the Olympic Games.

In addition to the huge security teams, numerous air units will also be deployed.

Rafale fighter jets, AWACS surveillance flights, Reaper surveillance drones and helicopters with high-level snipers on board will patrol the skies over Paris throughout the event.

Security expert Will Geddes told The Sun that Paris was taking “everything from physical to technical to psychological measures” to ensure the security of the event.

The move comes amid major security concerns in the French capital following a series of recent incidents.

The organizers are preparing for all eventualities during the event as there is a risk of terrorist attacks and protests.

Paris is shaken after the recent electoral chaos, in which tens of thousands of riot police battled with opposing political supporters.

Following the most polarizing election in the country’s history, political candidates and activists were attacked in the streets and cars and buildings were set on fire.

The terrorist organization ISIS has already threatened terrible attacks on the Olympic Games.

The death cult released a propaganda poster in which one of its terrorists appears to be flying an “armed drone” to attack the famous Eiffel Tower.

In the run-up to the games, officials arrested several people. A 26-year-old was arrested for allegedly planning “violent actions.”

A few weeks ago, a 16-year-old was arrested for allegedly saying he wanted to “die as a martyr.”
