A teenage rape victim was attacked again after she flagged down a car to get help.

Police are now searching for two rapists who attacked the schoolgirl, aged 15, on the same night.

In the first assault, the teenager was approached by an Asian man who raped her in a secluded area of a train station, police said.

Shortly after this attack, the victim, in an agitated state, walked away from the area and flagged down a passing vehicle to ask for help.


The driver offered her lift, but instead of taking her to safety he attacked her again.

‘If you were passing by the station and saw two girls walking with an older man, then please get in touch immediately.’
