Police are looking for a man after a teenage girl was raped in a park.

The attack happened at approximately 11:30 GMT on Wednesday in Parade Gardens in Bath, Somerset.

Avon and Somerset Police said forensic and CCTV inquiries were taking place to identify the suspect, who was described as a black male with short dark hair and was said to be clean shaven.

Police would also like to speak to two men who may have helped the victim get a taxi home after so they can establish whether they witnessed anything which could help the investigation.

The force said specialist detectives were conducting additional patrols in the area and anyone with information was urged to contact police.
