A man has been arrested after a 14-year-old girl was ‘raped in a car by a driver she flagged down to help’.

The schoolgirl was in a distraught state after being raped previously, it is alleged, and was attacked again after getting in the vehicle she thought belonged to a Good Samaritan.

Police arrested a man, 22, this morning in connection with the second attack in Birmingham last month, around 2am on July 26.

Two men, 35 and 27, both from the nearby Birmingham area, were previously arrested on suspicion of rape in relation to the first incident which happened a few hours earlier at a secluded part of Witton railway station.

The 14-year-old victim had walked to the station with her friend, but was led away by a man who approached her.

Shortly after that attack, the girl walked out of the station and flagged down a passing vehicle to ask for help, after getting in the car she was then raped a second time by another man.

A spokesman for British Transport Police said: ‘The victim is continuing to receive support from specialist officers as the investigation continues.

‘The media and public are thanked for their overwhelming support in sharing the numerous appeals in relation to this investigation.

‘Detectives are still appealing for good Samaritan who picked up the victim after she was raped for the second time.

‘The driver of the second vehicle, described as a people carrier type car, is believed to have given the victim a lift home after she was raped a second time.

‘If you were that person, then please get in touch as soon as possible. You could hold vital information.’
