Manchester man
raped after night out with friends

A 27-year-old man was raped in Manchester after an evening out with friends. The attacker locked the victim in a car and threatened him with a knife before proceeding to rape him, reports the BBC.

Greater Manchester Police say the victim was then driven to another location and suffered a second assault. The victim was able to escape on Lord Sheldon Way after the rapist demanded money from him.

Police are being proactive in apprehending the suspect but are asking the Manchester gay community to be on guard.

"This was a horrific attack on a man who had been having a night out with friends," said Det. Con. Pete Slater of Greater Manchester Police. "I would also ask members of the gay community to be vigilant around this area as this man may attempt this again." (The Advocate)
