A British woman has been robbed and sexually assaulted by two men in Magaluf.
The pair are said to have ripped the 25-year-old woman’s dress and underwear and stolen her designer watch and jewellery before fleeing the scene as police arrived.
She was taken to hospital for a routine examination before making a statement to the Civil Guard who are now leading the investigation.
A local paper in Mallorca described the incident as a rape. A Civil Guard source said the woman had allegedly been sexually assaulted.
The incident happened in the early hours of Friday morning near to a bank in a street in Magaluf a short walk from the famous Punta Ballena party strip. One police officer was injured when the suspects resisted arrest.

The watch the British woman had on is said to have been worth nearly £2,000.
The men held by police are two Colombians aged 19 and 24 who police suspect belong to a criminal gang operating in Palma and other Mallorcan towns, including Andratx and Inca.
It was not immediately clear today if a judge remanded them in custody pending an ongoing investigation or released them on bail following their first court appearance.
On Sunday it emerged police in Mallorca had arrested a 26-year-old British man on suspicion of rape at a hotel in Santa Ponsa near Magaluf.
The hotel has not been named. But sources close to the investigation confirmed on Monday the girl allegedly sexually attacked was also British and under the age of 18.
One said: ‘They were in the same hotel and the man held allegedly raped this girl after forcing her into his room.’
A friend of the youngster said to have suffered the sex attack alerted a receptionist who called police at around 7pm on Friday.
The friend told officers the man held had also tried to force her into the room.
