A young woman was allegedly raped by several men in a Berlin apartment earlier this week, seriously injuring herself when she fell from a second-floor balcony attempting to escape. 

Witnesses told police that five men helped the woman back into the apartment. After being alerted, the fire department arrived at Senftenberger Street at around 3:15 a.m., writes Bild. 

The fire brigade ultimately transported the woman to the hospital, but her injuries must have been critical, as an emergency doctor had arrived to treat her on-site.

In March of this year, ten Syrian nationals were convicted in Germany after a revenge-driven apartment raid in Hamburg ended in the death of a 15-year-old Iraqi boy who fell from an eighth-floor balcony while fleeing the attackers.

The Hamburg Regional Court ruled that seven of the defendants were guilty of aggravated robbery and manslaughter, while three others were convicted of aiding and abetting. An eleventh member of the gang fled to Syria. The verdict is not yet legally binding.
