A woman was dragged into an alleyway and sexually assaulted in the FOURTH sex attack in Handsworth within months.

The victim was targeted by two men off Brunswick Gardens, close to Handsworth Park, just before 11pm on February 4.

The attack comes after one woman was raped and another sexually assaulted in Waverhill Park. Another victim was sexually assaulted in Rookery Road.

Police have not said if they are linking the incidents.

But a councillor called the attacks 'awful' and is pleading with the detectives to catch those responsible.

A force spokeswoman said of the Brunswick Garden attack: “Police are investigating after a woman was forced by two men into an alleyway near to B runswick Gardens in Handsworth and sexually assaulted just before 11pm on Tuesday (4 Feb).”

This shocking incident comes after police revealed a woman was allegedly sexually assaulted in Waverhill Park, off Waverhill Park, between 10.45pm and 11.30pm on December 6.

The victim was attacked by two men who also took personal items including a phone and keys were also taken in the incident.

The offenders were later seen heading towards Soho Road and police have released CCTV of two men they are trying to trace.

Birmingham Police issued an appeal on its Facebook page which said: “Can you help us find these two men?

“We want to speak to them after a woman was sexually assaulted in Waverhill Park, Waverhill Road in Handsworth sometime between 10.45pm and 11.30pm on Friday 6 December, last year."

Back in September, detectives released CCTV images of a man wanted in connection to a rape, a sexual assault and a robbing all within the same hour.

A 35-year-old women was raped and robbed of her necklace after being walked by the man from Soho Road to Waverhill Park at around 10.15pm on September 1.

Minutes later, a 46-year-old was robbed of her handbag in Soho Road, although it was recovered by two passers-by who chased the thief.

Police said CCTV showed the same man assaulting an unknown woman in nearby Rookery Road a short time later.

Councillor Chaman Lal ( Soho and Jewellery Quarter) called the latest attack ‘really bad’.

He said: “I want the police to do everything they can to catch these criminals and the courts to give them lengthy sentences.

“As long as criminals think they can get away with it, they will commit these crimes. We need to put the fear into them.”
