A woman was mobbed by male students as she walked across Cairo University campus.

In the video, the unnamed woman - dressed in a pink top and fitted black jeans - can be seen strolling with a crowd of men trailing behind and alongside her.

According to reports, the university students then tried to rip her clothes off, getting wilder as they followed.

The baying students became more manic, wolf-whistling and jeering at the woman as she tried to get away from them.

The Cairo University dean has come under heavy criticism after he shockingly suggested the female student's outfit led to the harassment - although he has insisted that isn't justification.

He told private Egyptian channel ONTV: "This girl entered the university wearing an abaya [loose cloak] and then took it off in the faculty, and appeared with those clothes, that caused, in reality… the incident.

"The student's mistake does not justify what the [other] students did."
