Police in central Sweden are on the hunt for a gang of tattooed women who sexually molested a 50-year-old man as he was riding by on his bicycle.

The incident took place around 9pm on July 8th as the man was cycling down Vintergatan in central Örebro, the Aftonbladet newspaper reports.

Suddenly, someone grabbed hold of the rack on the back of the man’s bike, causing him to fall to the ground.

“The girls ran up to him and pulled the bicycle down so he fell,” Örebro police spokesperson Annika Haaster told the newspaper.

As the man was lying defenceless on the ground, the women proceeded to pull off his trousers and underwear and molest him sexually before fleeing the scene.

According to police, the 50-year-old was not otherwise beaten or physically assaulted by the gang of five girls.

The victim told police that the girl who actually pulled down the bicycle was about 175 centimetres (5 feet, 7 inches) tall and had tattoos on her forearms.

Authorities are hoping that tips from the public can help them apprehend the suspects responsible for the bizarre attack.

“It’s downright unusual for five girls [to do something like this]. Perhaps there are others who’ve had the same thing happen to them,” Haaster told Aftonbladet.

Why is this funny? If the genders were reversed I'm sure you wouldn't find it in the least entertaining.

I am assuming all of you that have commented above are male, which makes it even more bizare that you think it's ok for a member of your own sex to be attacked like this.

Not saying this is ok at all, but it is not rape, and there is NO physical damage, and from the sounds of it, very very little if any mental damage.

Well as most people don't read the transcripts of court reports I merely assumed that you had not bothered reading newspaper accounts of court cases relating to the fact that women have been convicted of rape against men and boys in Sweden in recent years. This is of course not to mention the big taboo area of women on men violence in the home. Most women who like to blog on Swedish public sites don't appear to take women on men violence seriously. Your contributions would appear to reflect that fact ...

This is where equality goes too far... not that a guy getting raped (if it really went that far) is any better than a woman getting raped, but guys will be guys, and we'll always joke about these things. Over simplified, it's a lot like poop jokes.

I bet over half the men out there would have the same reaction as the first commenters (myself included). Whether they would admit that to a woman, or publicly on here, is a different story.

Never mentioned ("my" 'your contributions') You seem to be easily outraged about things which have not been written about you. I referred to others on the other hand and note that you don't seem to regard the assault on the man as a particularly serious offence. If you are unaware of the cultural tradition among men even in Sweden to make a joke of occasional bad experiences or even serious ones for that matter, then it seems you are socially underdeveloped when it comes to understanding how men deal with serious injury and experiences. I sustained a sporting injury not so long ago which was the result of a rather cowardly out of sight tackle. Rather than be bitter and let the scumbag win I choose to make the injury a laughing matter among my friends and accquaintances making puns about degradated sexual prowess and suggesting I would probably be found to be ideologically unsound if I was a member of a fanatical organisation. This is the way many men work if you don't understand this you have a lot to learn about life, men and the real world in general. I suggest you look up the word "irony" in a dictionary.

"I guarantee that if this were a 50 year-old woman attacked and sexually assaulted in a similar way then no one would be laughing."

Totally correct. Nobody would be laughing if a 50 yr woman was attacked in this way. And your point is?

But it was a fifty year old male that was molested by women. So it's funny...sort of.

I don't find it funny when anyone - man or woman - is molested by anyone else. The man must have felt violated, or he wouldn't have found it necessary to report it to the police. Obviously it was not a pleasant experience.

But, just as last time a topic like this came up, it's being laughed off...

My first reaction was a bit of a chuckle - the idea IS funny...

But in reality Miss Kitten and Sofia are both so painfully right. Sexual molestation in any form, regardless of age or gender is not really a laughing matter and someone's privacy being violated in this way - in a public place - really isn't funny.

Imagine being pushed off your bike and then exposed and fondled by strangers, probably while being laughed at and made fun of... If that's your wet dream, I'm not really sure about your sanity.

So laugh at the idea, sure, but don't make fun of the poor bastard this happened to! A no is a no (I guess some of you were waiting for that one)!

It was little more than a schoolgirl prank and he is probably sitting at home reliving his wildest fantasy....and probably couldnt resist sharing it with the rest of the world otherwise he wouldnt even have gone to the cops.

This shows the difference between men and women. The police probably only found out about this because the guy was bragging about it to his friends in a bar and one was jealous and reported him.

Is it guy humour? Of course! Is guy humour silly/dumb! Absolutely or it would not be funny!

If they had done any physical harm it might be a different story...but 5 girls-half this guys age- jumped him and fondled him...the only real crime here is if they did it and didnt get him off so they left him with blue balls. Otherwise thats a hell of alot better than sitting at home watching a porn and watching it happen to someone else!!!

As a man I don't mind saying I think this is wrong, not least for pushing the guy off his bike - that alone is dangerous enough. Yeah the rest of it sounds a bit funny-peculiar on first reading but ultimately assault by any means, or method, or for any reason, is still assault and is not acceptable.

Doesn't sound as though much harm was done but no-one has the right to go around assaulting another person, even if the recipient were weird enough to enjoy it (in which unlikely event he can pay for it - freebies like this will put hard working girls out of business). Sure guys will joke about it but for authorities to not act sets a bad precedent.

Of course if you really think you might like this kind of thing then you know where to go and what to do - let us know how you get on !

I agree. I wonder why we keep hearing these reports about women doing violent things. Was it under reported before?

Yes I'm a man, and I too find this amusing. Let's see - attacked and molested by a gang of young swedish women, hmmmn, that sounds like a promising plot for a porn director. Can I be the leading man?

To the women who just can't believe the cavalier attitude that most men have towards this incident, I think there really is a biological reason for this; simply put, it's the difference between the sexes. Men don't get pregnant, and constantly produce sperm, so we need frequent sexual release- just a fact of nature. Women have to deal with severe biological consequences i.e getting pregnant and giving birth, so they will understandably be much more cautious and protective of their sexuality.

As one guy mentioned... all guys think this story sounds awesome when they fantasize a six-some with 5 hot members of the Swedish bikini team. Every time men think about sex it's with the most beautiful woman they can think of.

The reality of this story is the women were probably not very desirable looking, smelling, etc. Once settling in to that reality it really kills the fantasy and makes the idea sound not nearly as awesome as first expected. Think of your ugliest, most annoying, fattest co-worker and then think of her and her 4 friends raping you, yuck!
