Raped girl, 15, attacked again as she sought help

A 15-year-old girl was raped by two different attackers, including a man she flagged down for help, police said.

Detectives said the teenager was first assaulted in a secluded part of Witton railway station, near Aston Villa’s football ground in Birmingham, between 7pm on Tuesday and 2am the following day.

The victim walked to the station with a friend, but is said to have been led away by a man who approached her. Shortly after that attack, the girl walked from the station and flagged down a vehicle to ask for help, police said. However, after getting in the car she was raped a second time by another man, investigators said.
