Shoppers have spoken of their fear and disbelief after a woman was allegedly raped by a man near to Salford’s Regent retail park. Earlier today (October 30), Costa Coffee was cordoned off by police as an investigation into the alleged rape took place.
Forensic officers were spotted on the scene as the outside seating area of the coffee shop, located near to JD Sports and Sainsburys, was taped off.
A 25-year-old man has since been arrested and is being questioned by police, following the alleged attack at 7.55am this morning.
