Teenage girl raped in city park | |
(about 3 hours later) | |
A teenager has been raped in Botanic Gardens in south Belfast. | |
The 18-year-old was attacked as she walked home through the park on Saturday night at about midnight. | |
She had been drinking with a group of friends in the park, and as she passed the Ulster Museum, a man dragged her into the bushes and raped her. | |
The attacker also stole the teenager's mobile phone. A team of police officers have been searching the park for the phone and other clues. | |
Detectives say they want to speak to anyone who was in Botanic Gardens or walking past the Stranmillis Road entrance around the time of the attack. | |
Police believe they may have seen something that could help them track down the rapist. | |
