An 18-year-old girl was raped early Sunday morning after being attacked by two unknown men whilst relaxing with her boyfriend.

The horrifying incident occurred around 3am when the two were approached by two men who threatened the boyfriend with a knife and demanded phones and money from the young couple. Fearing for his life, the boyfriend fled, leaving the teenage girl at the mercy of the attackers.
