Police are appealing for information after a woman was raped by a stranger in Accrington.
On Thursday (June 29) between 10pm and 10.30pm, officers received reports that a woman suffered a serious sexual assault in an alleyway between Turkey Street and Sultan Street.
The woman, aged in her 30s and from Accrington, reported being attacked by a man described as Asian, bald with a short beard and wearing traditional dress. It is believed the man got out of a silver Honda car in Norfolk Street before the attack, Lancashire Police say.
