A 20-year-old woman of Indian heritage was allegedly raped in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom a few days ago; in an attack police believe was motivated by her racial identity.
The incident came to light on Saturday when police were called to the Park Hall area of Walsall after reports of a distressed woman sitting in the street. Authorities confirmed she had been subjected to a sexually aggravated assault. The suspect allegedly called her a “P**i Bi**h” and followed her home.
Senior officer Ronan Tyrer, who is overseeing the investigation, described the incident as an absolutely appalling attack. He stated that police are doing everything possible to arrest the person responsible.
Investigators released an image of the perpetrator from CCTV footage and are appealing to the public for assistance. Police said they had teams recovering evidence and building a profile of the attacker.
