LONDON: A Sikh woman in her 20s was raped by two men in broad daylight in a park in Oldbury, UK, and was reportedly told to "go back to your country" during the assault.

The attack took place just before 8.30 am on Tuesday in an area off Tame Road. Police said they were treating the assault as a racially aggravated hate crime and have launched a manhunt for the suspects.

The two white male suspects are said to have targeted the woman and made a "racist remark" during the attack.

"We're investigating after a woman reported to us that she had been raped in Oldbury in what we are treating as a racially aggravated attack," the West Midlands Police statement said.
