Met Police have appealed for witnesses and information after a woman was attacked in Harrow.
Police were called at 23:45hrs on Saturday, 2 November, to reports that a woman had been raped on Church Hill in Harrow-on-the-Hill.
Police confirmed that officers attended, and are continuing to provide the woman with specialist support.
A male was arrested on 4 November in connection with the investigation. He remains in custody and enquiries are ongoing.
The news comes after another woman was reportedly raped in a park nearby just a few weeks ago.
Detectives would like to speak with anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident. Did you see or hear anything suspicious? Did you see a man running away?
Detective Sergeant Phil Inman said: “We know this will cause of lot of concern and anxiety in the area, especially as the attack took place in close proximity to the High Street.
“I am also asking that you review any CCTV, doorbell or dash cam footage that may assist our investigation – in particular between around 22:00hrs and midnight in the roads surrounding St Mary’s Church, Churchfields Open Space and Grove Open Space.
“If you have any concerns please speak with a local officer.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police via 101 quoting CAD 8605/02Nov. To remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
