A man has been arrested after a teenage girl was raped outside a west London shopping centre.
The 17-year-old was forced towards the entrance of West 12 shopping centre in Shepherd’s Bush before the terrifying attack.
Earlier this week police put out a public appeal to help trace a man pictured in CCTV camera footage.
On Saturday detectives announced a man has been arrested in connection with the attack.
The suspect was questioned at a London police station and has been released on bail.
According to police, the alleged rape happened on October 27 last year. The victim and her friend were shopping in Westfield when they were approached by two men who they spent some time with and “lured them into a false sense of security”, police said.
The friends were split up and later that night the 17-year-old girl was attacked.
