Police have launched a full investigation after the group of men, said to be from Tunisia, are alleged to have gang raped the woman in her 20s in Stockholm. The footage was handed to officers after a man, who is of Arab origin, spotted the live footage on a Facebook group dedicated to Tunisians living in the west. He recorded the footage on his mobile phone on January 26 and alerted police.

But since then he says he has received death threats. He told Sweden’s Free Times: “Many Tunisians are defending these men and looks like I hate the Tunisians because I hung out my countrymen. “I see it as a serious crime, but they see it as something normal.” Stockholm police say they have not yet received any information about the incident. Police spokesman Towe Hagg told Free Times on Sunday: “This is certainly not something that I recognise, but that does not mean it has not happened.”

Express.co.uk has chosen not to show any of the video. Recent reports show Swedish police struggling to cope with crime in more than 50 areas of their country. Chaos unfolded in a predominately immigrant suburb of Stockholm earlier this week. The unrest, in the Rinkeby suburb, saw officers shooting at a mob of rioters who threw rocks at police on Monday night.
