POLICE are investigating a string of sex attacks that took place in Switzerland’s largest city on New Year’s Eve.
Swiss police are investigating reports of sex attacks in Zurich
Zurich police revealed six women were allegedly robbed, groped and molested by a “crowd of multiple men with dark coloured skin”.
The number is unusually high for the country, which has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe.
A spokesperson for the police force added that the attacks were “a little bit similar” to the 120 cases of robbery and sexual abuse that took place in the German city of Cologne on the same night.

However the spokesperson stressed that the scale of the alleged assaults were “difficult to compare”.
It comes after public funded German media was accused of covering up the wave of brutal sexual assaults on women by a marauding gang of up to 1,000 immigrant men in Cologne, Hamburg and Stuttgart.
One of the first victims to speak out Michelle, 18, was in Cologne’s main station when the attacks broke out.

She said: "There were 11 of us together at the time.
"At around 11pm we were at the main train station and wanted to travel on to see the fireworks, and that was when we first noticed all these men standing around.
"We managed to go into the cathedral and wanted to go past the Museum Ludwig to join everyone and watch the fireworks by the river, but suddenly we were surrounded by a group of between 20 and 30 men."
German police are currently investigating the horrific string of attacks
