A 16-year-old British girl was raped while on holiday with her parents in Crete, it has been reported.

The teenager was attacked after leaving her parents to go to the toilet at a bar in the popular resort of Mali, according to a police report cited in local media.

Her attacker allegedly followed her into the bathroom and fled quickly afterwards.

The 16-year-old immediately went with her mother to a police station and reported the incident.

Greek newspaper reports indicate police have identified the suspect from CCTV footage taken at the bar and surrounding businesses.

He is said to be a 28-year-old man of Pakistani origin and is now subject of a manhunt.

The incident comes a year after two men were jailed for rape of another British teenager in nearby Rethymno.

The attackers, Pakistani nationals aged 27 and 24, approached the 18-year-old while she was sunbathing and pinned her down on the sunbed.

The previous year, another British tourist was raped in Hersonissos, claiming she was attacked by a taxi driver who took her to a remote spot instead of her hotel.

It’s believed the suspect has yet to be apprehended.
