#19-year-old gang-raped in Central Park, police sources say

A 19-year-old was raped in Central Park early Wednesday, police said.

The victim was walking inside the park just before 1 a.m., at West 77th Street and West Drive, when they saw five men sitting on a park bench, cops and police sources said.

When the victim passed the bench, the group got up and followed, according to the sources.

The victim then tripped — at which time two of the suspects approached, one of them forcing his penis into the victim’s anus, and the other into their mouth, the sources said.

The NYPD identified the victim as a woman, but police sources said the person was either a man or transgender.

The location is a gay cruising spot, according to the sources.

The five male suspects, all about 30 years old, ran off after the incident.

The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, the sources said.
