A man has been arrested after a woman said she was raped in north-west London on Saturday night.

The Metropolitan Police were called at 23:45 GMT to reports of an attack on Church Hill, off the high street near Harrow School, Harrow-on the Hill.

Officers attended the scene and have since provided the woman with specialist support, the Met said.

The force added that a man detained on Monday in connection with the incident remains in custody and inquiries are ongoing.

Sgt Phil Inman said: “We know this will cause a lot of concern and anxiety in the area, particularly as the attack took place in close proximity to the high street.”

He appealed for CCTV footage, dashcam footage taken between 22:00 and 00:00 GMT around St Mary’s Church, Churchfields Open Space and Grove Open Space to help the investigation.
