British-born Sikh woman in her 20s tells police a racist remark was made during assault in Oldbury
A man has been arrested after a Sikh woman said she had been left “deeply affected” by what police are treating as a racially motivated rape in the West Midlands.
The woman, described as a British-born Sikh in her 20s, told police a racist remark was made to her during the assault in the Tame Road area of Oldbury on Tuesday morning.
The perpetrators allegedly told her: “You don’t belong in this country, get out,” as they attacked her between 8am and 8.30am, according to the Sikh Federation (UK).
West Midlands police said on Sunday evening that a man in his 30s had been detained as part of inquiries into the assault. He remains in custody on suspicion of rape. The woman is continuing to receive support as the investigation continues.
