An 18-year-old was attacked and raped by two masked men as she walked down an alleyway close to a south London station.

Police are appealing for information after the woman was set upon by the strangers near Peckham Rye Railway Station on Thursday, January 13.

The victim was walking down an alleyway off Elm Grove shortly after 10.20pm when she was approached from behind by two males who took her to Holly Grove where they raped her.

Police described the two males as wearing dark clothing. They were both wearing gloves and face coverings.

The woman is being supported by specialist officers after reporting the rape at just after 12.45am on Friday.
