A 15-year-old girl was raped in broad daylight on a muddy track in Blackbird Leys, Oxfordshire, police have said.
The victim was walking along Barns Road when she was approached by a man and pulled down a track at the side of a bridge. The attack occurred between 2pm and 4pm on Sunday, 20 September, but was not reported to police until Tuesday.
Thames Valley Police are searching for a white man in his late teens, described as 5ft 8in tall, of slim build, with short dark hair, a short ginger beard, and freckles. He was wearing black trainers, dark grey Nike jogging bottoms, and a chain around his neck.
Detective Inspector Steve Raffield said: 'What happened to this young girl is unimaginable and I am sure that members of the public will be shocked to hear about this incident, which happened in broad daylight.' He reassured the public that such incidents are 'extremely rare'.
