Belgian woman says 'terrified'

A 20-year-old Belgian woman who says she was sexually assaulted by North African men at New Year's Eve celebrations in Milan's Piazza Duomo told Italian police in Liege Friday that she had been "terrified" by the alleged attacks, legal sources said.
    "I was terrified, I was dragged from one side to the other by a river of men, 30 or 40 in all, I couldn't get out", she reportedly said.
    An Italian woman was also questioned Friday and she allegedly suffered the same form of "collective harassment" and reported it.
    Her case is also among the alleged group sexual violence being investigated by the Prosecutor's Office.
    Next week, other victims will be questioned on the record.
