An 18-year-old British student was beaten and raped by two men in Berlin while visiting the German city on a college trip to a film festival.

She was attacked at a shisha bar after she lost her friends on a night out near the city's Potsdamer Platz.

Sources told the Sun that she was cornered by the men before being locked in a room where they beat her.

The girl had to spend two nights in hospital after the attack because of the severity of the injuries and the trauma caused by it.

She then flew home with her distraught parents on Friday.

A source at her college told the Sun: 'Everyone is so shocked. I hope the police in Berlin find the animals responsible.'

Berlin Police declined to comment or give the location of where the rape happened, and no description of the attackers has been released.

It is unclear if any arrests have been made in the case.
