In a disturbing incident in Oldbury, UK, a Sikh woman in her 20s was subjected to a violent and racially motivated assault in a park. The victim was reportedly raped by two men in broad daylight and was told to "go back to your country" during the attack.
The assault, which occurred just before 8:30 a.m. on a Tuesday in an area near Tame Road, is being investigated by West Midlands Police as a racially aggravated hate crime. Authorities have launched a search for the two suspects, both of whom are described as white men. One is characterized as heavy-built with a shaven head, and was wearing a dark sweatshirt and gloves. The second man wore a grey top with a silver zip.
Police are actively seeking information from the public and have requested any CCTV, dashcam, or mobile phone footage that may assist with the investigation. A statement from West Midlands Police described the event as a "horrific attack" and urged anyone with information to contact them immediately.
This assault has sparked outrage and concern within the Sikh community, which has reported an increase in racist incidents recently. Labour MP Preet Kaur Gill denounced the attack on X, describing it as an "act of extreme violence and racism." She emphasized that the victim "does belong here" and that racism and misogyny have no place in Britain. Gill has committed to working with police to secure justice and enhance safety for the Sikh community.
In response to the incident, police have increased patrols in the area. The victim is currently receiving specialized support while the investigation continues.
