A migrant who entered the UK illegally raped a "terrified" woman on her morning commute to work just months after he was allowed to stay

Elias Hussain Mahmud, 22, knocked the young woman to the ground from behind, threatened to kill before raping her twice in broad daylight.

The Ethiopian-born man entered the UK last year as an illegal immigrant - but had been given granted leave to remain in the country until 2020.

But months after he was granted asylum, Mahmud attacked the lone woman as she made her morning walk to her office.

Swansea Crown Court heard the migrant knocked her over from behind as the pair struggled on the ground.

But Mahmud overpowered his victim and raped her twice as lay pinned down to the pavement in Swansea city centre.

He then ran off, but was was arrested just 45 minutes later after police received calls about a man acting suspiciously in a nearby residential area.
