An 18-year-old woman was gang raped by five men while walking through a park in Brooklyn, New York on Thursday.

The woman was walking through Osborne Park on Thursday night with her father when five men approached them, one of whom was armed with a gun. The armed assailant pointed the weapon at the father and daughter and told the father the leave, according to police.

The father complied with their demand and left the area. By the time he returned with local law enforcement, his daughter had already been raped.

Upon arriving with two police officers, the rapists fled the scene and the woman was transported to a hospital where she was treated and then released.
