The U.K. police investigating a racially aggravated sexual assault of a Sikh woman have arrested a man on suspicion of rape.
Police said the man, in his 30s, was detained on Sunday (September 14, 2025) and remains in custody as part of their enquiries into the “racially motivated rape” in Oldbury, West Midlands region of England, reported last Tuesday (September 9, 2025).
The West Midlands Police said the woman, in her 20s, is continuing to receive support as the investigations continue.
"This is a significant development in the investigation, and we want to thank the community for their continuing support,” said Chief Superintendent Kim Madill of Sandwell Police.
"The investigation remains ongoing and we would urge people not to speculate as we work to identify and trace all those who may have been involved," she said.
