Three people have been arrested after a gang held down a man and forced him to watch as they raped his 18-year-old fiancée in Rome.

Minutes before they were surrounded, the couple had parked in a quiet corner of Tor Tre Teste, a park in the eastern part of the capital.

They were naked before the incident took place on October 25, according to the Italian broadcaster TG La7.

Police said the attackers broke the car window, dragged the 24-year-old man from the vehicle and forced the woman out as she tried to cover herself with an item of clothing. Two of the attackers restrained the man as his fiancée was dragged a short distance away, the man told police.

As the group sexually assaulted his fiancée, the man cried out for help and pleaded with them to stop, but was unable to break free.
