UPDATE - Woman in her 20s allegedly raped by gang of men in Manchester park

 

Police are hunting for a group of men who allegedly raped a

woman in her 20s. 

 

Officers were called to a report of the rape of a woman in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester after 12.30 am earlier today, April 20, in what officers have described as a 'random and sickening attack'.

 

Pictures from the scene show a play area in the park has been taped off with heavy police presence around the scene. 

 

No arrests have been made, and officers are appealing to anyone with information to get in touch.

 

 

Chief Inspector Cara Charlesworth, of GMP's City of Manchester South Division, said: 'A truly horrendous incident took place last night and we are supporting the victim at this awful time with our specialist officers.

 

'At this stage this appears to have been a random and sickening attack and our officers are working tirelessly to identify those responsible.

 

'In the meantime, we have increased our police presence in the area, and the public should feel reassured that if they have any concerns they can approach our officers directly.

 

'I appreciate it was the middle of the night and there won't have been many witnesses to this attack, but if anyone has any information then I implore you to get in touch as every bit of detail at this stage has the potential to be crucial.
