Police in Brighton are appealing for witnesses after a woman reported being raped following a night out with friends.
Detectives are seeking information from anyone who saw or spoke to the woman on Queens Road late last Friday night (19/09/2025), particularly an e-scooter rider and another woman who may have checked on her welfare.
Specially trained officers are supporting the victim.
Detective Inspector Matt Stevens said: “This is a fast-moving and complex investigation, and we are keen to trace people who may have interacted with the victim while she was in Brighton.
“In particular, we believe some members of the public stopped to check on her welfare in the centre of Brighton, and we are keen to speak with them.
“We urge anyone with information to come forward.”
Information can be reported to Sussex Police online, or by calling 101, and quoting serial 386 of 20/09.
