A woman walked into a Fort Lauderdale hotel room and stepped into a nightmare as multiple men raped her until she passed out, according to police.

She only managed to escape after darting into traffic and seeking help from a passerby, according to a Fort Lauderdale police report. Two 50-year-old men, Milton Thomas and Rodney Gilyard, were arrested and charged with sexual assault and false imprisonment.

The incident occurred Sunday at the Budget Inn at 2731 N. Federal Highway.

According to the police report:

The woman was invited into Thomas' hotel room and arrived there with another person, who was forced out of the room.
