UPDATE: Man arrested after woman found ‘raped’ in Swindon car park
A woman has been ‘seriously assaulted’ in an attack by a male suspect in Swindon.
Police were called to Dammas Lane in Old Town – located directly opposite the popular Kioki nightclub, in the early hours for this morning (Sunday).
It’s understood the victim – who may have been sexually assaulted by a male – was found between two cars in the Dammas Lane short stay car park.
Detectives have launched an investigation into the incident, with forensics working to gather evidence – which appears to have been covered by a blue tent.
An alleyway leading to The Planks has also been cordoned off.
