Oktoberfest beer festival

A British man was attacked and raped by two men at the Oktoberfest beer festival in Theresienwiese, a large open space on the outskirts of Munich on Saturday.

The unnamed man, 24, was urinating in a nearby bush when he was approached by one of the men who “made it clear that he wanted to have sex with him”, according to a Munich police statement.

24-year-old refused, and he was then brought to the ground and raped. The two rapists then fled the scene, and police are still searching for clues as to their identity.

“We aware of an incident involving a British national and we are providing consular assistance,” said a UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesperson.

The Oktoberfest beer festival, commonly said that the largest beer festival in the world, attracts millions of visitors from around the world every year.
