A FRENCH woman was allegedly gang raped on a Costa Brava beach by three men this morning.
The 27-year-old told cops she was abducted by the trio outside a nightclub at the Platja d’Aro resort.
It is said to have happened on a popular tourist beach known as Platja Gran at around 6am.
The holidaymaker was taken to nearby Palamos Hospital for treatment after calling for help.
Regional Mossos d’Esquadra have launched a probe to track down the suspects.
Local reports said the tourist had gone out with a female pal, and was allegedly snatched after leaving a popular nightspot alone.
Police were alerted just after 6.30am and are trying to track down witnesses and CCTV that could help identify the men.
A Mossos spokesman confirmed officers had been called by a Good Samaritan helping a French woman, who said she had been sexually attacked.
He said: “The woman is currently in hospital and an investigation is underway.”
Last month five French men aged 18 and 19 were arrested on suspicion of gang-raping a Norwegian tourist at a house in Benidorm and indecently assaulting her friend.
