The woman had taken refuge at Dounia, a kebab shop located on Boulevard de Clichy near the Moulin Rouge in Paris' 18th arrondissement, following the alleged assault by five men.

Upon her arrival at the shop, the woman was described as "disoriented and unable to speak a word of French," with her dress "backwards" and partially torn.

CCTV footage released on Tuesday shows the woman signalling to a staff member that a man who had just entered the shop was one of her alleged attackers.

The man is seen lingering in the shop before approaching the woman and patting her on the back. Moments later, a physical confrontation ensues between a customer and the man, who subsequently fled the scene.

Police arrived shortly after, and the woman, who was believed to have been in Paris for the Fête de la Musique festival, was taken to Bichat Hospital.

She informed police that she was raped by five men of African appearance.

The kebab shop owner told media that the woman, who was scheduled to return to Australia on Sunday, could not stop crying and her dress was visibly damaged.

The Paris Prosecutor's Office confirmed that police are investigating the allegations, stating:

"The investigation into the charge of gang rape likely to have been committed on the night of July 19 to 20 has been entrusted to the 2nd judicial police district."
