According to local reports, the unidentified men attacked the two young tourists after they attempted to use a local ciggarette vending machine.   When that didn’t work due to the lack of a national ID, the two were separated after one of the attackers falsely claimed he’d allow them to use his card.
The incident was first reported to police on 3 July the night of the attack in the Otigia-section of the town. They had been visiting the area when they were attacked.
Both suspects have since been arrested.
