Girl, 15, is raped at train station - then raped again after flagging down car for help

A double manhunt was launched after a 15-year-old girl was raped at a railway station then abused again by a man she flagged down to help.

The teenager was first attacked near Aston Villa's football ground in Birmingham between 7pm on Tuesday and 2am on Wednesday.

The victim had walked to Witton station with her friend, but was led away by a man who approached her.



According to UK Mirror, shortly after that attack, the girl walked out of the station and flagged down a passing vehicle to ask for help.

However, after getting in the car she was then raped a second time by another man.The first attacker is described as Asian with light skin, brown eyes, was of a skinny build and about 6ft tall.

He was wearing a track suit top and bottoms, black trainers and was in his early 20s.

The second attacker is also described as Asian, in his early 20s, 5ft 6 or 7ins tall, of large build with a tight-cropped beard and was wearing a blue jumper and black jeans.

Detective Chief Inspector Tony Fitzpatrick, of British Transport Police, said:
"This was a horrifying ordeal for this young girl and we have specially trained officers supporting her."It is now vitally important we investigate exactly what happened on Tuesday morning as well as identifying offenders for both of these awful incidents.
"My detectives are currently examining all available CCTV in an effort to identify the offenders and whilst these enquiries are made, we are keen to speak with any potential witnesses.
"Whilst this incident happened during the early morning and there may not have been many people around, I would be keen to speak with anyone who may have been in the area at the time.
"If you were passing by the station and saw two girls walking with an older man, then please get in touch immediately.
