The university has opened an investigation into the matter and would work with other colleges to discipline those involved.

"We radically condemn these statements, they are unacceptable and inexplicable," the director of the residence, Manuel Garcia Artiga, told local radio station Cadena SER of the incident that occurred on Sunday evening.

"We cannot tolerate such behaviour that generates hatred and attacks women," tweeted Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. "It is especially painful to see that the protagonists are young people ... Enough of machismo!"

Elias Ahuja is one of several private residences attached to the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), Spain's biggest state university. Residents pay nearly 1,200 euros ($1,187) a month for room and board.

A spokesperson for the residence told state news agency Efe that several perpetrators had been identified and expelled.
