COPS have made an arrest after a gang wearing balaclavas reportedly held a knife to a woman’s neck before she was sexually assaulted.
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempt rape and is currently in police custody.
The victim was walking between Old Run View and West Grange Road in Leeds, just before 11am on Monday morning, when the incident occurred.
As she walked along the pathway in the Belle Isle area of the city, she was approached by four masked males on two electric bikes, West Yorkshire Police said.
A knife was allegedly held to her neck before she was sexually assaulted during the “horrific incident”.
All four men, who were wearing black balaclavas and clothing, fled the scene shortly after, cops said.
It is believed that the same group of males were involved on all occasions.
Officers from Leeds District Safeguarding are continuing to appeal to anyone with information that could assist the ongoing investigation to please come forward.
