A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder over an attack on a woman that left her with ‘horrific’ life-threatening injuries.
The woman, aged in her 20s is believed to have been attacked at around 11.40pm on Monday in Victoria Park, Leicester, and remains in a critical condition, police said.
The teenager was held on Tuesday evening and taken into custody for questioning by detectives.
Leicestershire Police described the assault on the woman, who was dragged into bushes in Victoria Park, as truly horrendous and said her attacker would have been heavily bloodstained after the ordeal.
The victim was found near recycling bins around an hour after the attack.
She was so badly injured she has not yet been able to speak to officers about what happened to her.
