A horrified couple saved a naked woman after she was drugged and raped in a Byron Bay alley.
Nour Issa, 35, and her fiance Zaki Ameer, from Sydney, saw two naked women ‘jumping excitedly’ before becoming ‘really scared’ as four men tried to bundle them into a car.
The couple intervened and took one woman back to their hotel while the other ran off into the night.

Saviours: At 10.30pm, Nour Issa, 35, and her fiance Zaki Ameer (pictured together), from Sydney, saw the completely naked woman running out of a back door into a car park and kindly took her home
‘She came out of one of the doors, I have never seen anything like it. She and another girl were jumping up and down naked, laughing and then really scared, mixed emotions. Then there were four guys trying to get her in a car,’ Ms Issa told The Daily Telegraph.
‘I wanted to save her. So we put her in the car and took her to where we were staying. The other girl ran off.
‘She fell asleep on my shoulder and I could not wake her so I knew she was drugged. She would not wake up, the sleep was so deep.’
The woman woke the next day with no possessions or memory of what happened.
Days later she went to the doctor with vomiting, stomach cramps and bruising on her inner thighs and vagina.
Doctors told her she had a ruptured ovarian cyst due to violent sexual intercourse.
The woman reported the incident to police but, without forensic evidence or CCTV footage, detectives have made little progress.
The woman’s night started with ‘a tiny dab’ of powdered MDMA after watching the sunset on Main Beach with friends.

At 10.30pm, the couple saw the completely naked woman running out of a back door into a car park.
They took her home in their car and realised she had been drugged when they were unable to wake her from a ‘deep sleep’.
The kind couple gave her fresh clothes in the morning and have been helping her piece together the horror night.
