Police are hunting five men who took turns raping a young woman after pointing a gun at her father and ordering him to leave a playground in Brooklyn.

The 18-year-old victim had been inside Osborne Park in Brownsville, New York, at 9.10pm on Thursday with her father when five black men accosted the pair, police said.

One of the men, described in his 20s or 30s and wearing a red jacket and black pants, was armed with a gun.

Police are hunting five men who took turns raping a young woman in Brooklyn on Thursday. Pictured: surveillance video shows the suspects entering a bodega before the attack

The 18-year-old victim had been inside Osborne Park in Brownsville with her father when the suspects accosted the pair, police said

According to the New York Daily News, he pointed it at the victim’s father and told him to ‘get the f*** out of here.’

The father complied and each of the five men then raped the victim, the NYPD said. The woman’s father called 911 and returned with two uniformed police officers a short time later, but the suspects fled the scene.

After the attack, the victim was taken to Kings County Hospital, where she was treated and released.

Today, the police department has come under fire and asked to investigate why police were so slow to respond to the incident.

At a press conference on Sunday, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a retired police captain, said the time between the report and police response is 'baffling'.

'They have enough time to do that and leave the scene?' he said. 'That's a substantial amount of time.'

He added: 'We need to listen to the 911 call. We need to find out. This baffles all my police experience. Something is missing.'

According to the Daily News, Adams and City Councilwoman Darlene Mealy are offering $2,000 for any information leading to an arrest.

Meanwhile, angry neighbors also blasted police for not patrolling the area, which they say has no working lampposts and is pitch black at night.

‘How can [police] wonder how stuff like this happens, and then when it gets dark they’re not here?’ one woman told the Daily News.

The assailants remain on the loose and the NYPD is urging the public to help identify the suspects.

Police released footage of the five entering a bodega before the horrific attack.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
