THREE German tourists — one female and two males — have been horrifically attacked in broad daylight while on holiday in Morocco by men wielding knives.

The incident took place on Friday on the street in the city of Fex, a popular destination for holiday-makers and often referred to as the country’s cultural capital.

Graphic footage of the unprovoked attack’s aftermath show the badly injured tourists in desperate need of hospital care.

A large bread knife is seen on the ground alongside huge pools of blood all over the cobbled streets in the Talaa Lakbira neighbourhood, a popular area among tourists.

The three victims were quickly rushed to Fez University Hospital where they are believed to be in a stable condition. the Express reports.

It is not yet known what prompted the assault but a police investigation is already underway.

Locals allege that the two men ingested Karkoubi, a psychedelic drug that has been known to spark extreme aggression and even psychotic episodes that can cause permanent brain damage.

Fez, one of Morocco’s most historical cities, has been plagued by high levels of crime in recent years.
