Police are investigating after a woman reported that she had been raped in Oldbury in what is being treated as a racially aggravated attack.

West Midlands Police were called just before 8.30am on Tuesday after the woman, in her 20s, reported being attacked in the area around Tame Road.

Officers are keen to speak with anyone in the area who may have seen two men. The two men are described as being white, one had a shaved head, heavy build, and was reported to be wearing a dark coloured sweatshirt and had gloves on.

The second man was reportedly wearing a grey top with a silver zip. The woman has said that a racist remark was made to her during the attack.

It's being treated as an isolated incident.

Chief Superintendent Kim Madill, of Sandwell Police, said: “We are working really hard to identify those responsible, with CCTV, forensic and other enquiries well underway.

“We fully understand the anger and worry that this has caused, and I am speaking to people in the community today to reassure them that we are doing everything we can to identify and arrest those responsible.

“Incidents like this are incredibly rare, but people can expect to see extra patrols in the area.”

Enquiries are ongoing and anyone who knows more about what happened can contact West Midlands Police via 101 quoting log 798 or 9 September.
