Wheelchair-bound woman was ‘gang-raped by group of migrants after asking to use the loo at asylum centre’
Six men have been arrested following the horrific attack earlier this month in the Swedish town of Visby
A WHEELCHAIR-bound woman was gang raped by six asylum seekers, Swedish police have said.
The unnamed disabled woman had asked to use a toilet at a nearby asylum centre after sharing a taxi with one of its residents.
But after she was invited inside, the woman, in her 30s, was attacked by the man and six of his fellow migrants.
A furious group of more than 100 Swedes have since attacked the centre in Visby, pelting it with rocks.
The victim's lawyer Staffan Fredriksson told local newspaper : "She followed him in and had no fears that something would happen.
"Then the man took advantage of the situation. The abuse started in the toilet.

He added: "She is completely broken down."
Five men, all aged in their 20s, have since been arrested by Swedish police following the incident on October 2.
They are yet to release the men's nationalities or identities.
Sweden has been at the forefront of efforts to accept migrants fleeing conflicts in place like Syria and Afghanistan.
Last year alone it is estimated to have taken in more than 200,000 asylum seekers - around two per cent of its population.
Germany by comparison, accepted the equivalent of one per cent over the same period.
