Police are investigating an allegation that a woman in her 20s was raped on Brighton Beach. Multiple outlets report that the incident is said to have occurred during the early hours of Wednesday morning, after a woman reported the attack overnight. Officers set up a cordon and sealed off part of the seafront as part of the response to the report. The BBC reports that a 28-year-old man is held on suspicion of rape, and other outlets say he remains in police custody following his arrest. The reports agree that the woman’s age is in her 20s and that the man arrested is 28. They also concur that police action included restricting access to the area around the beach during their investigation. No details about the alleged attack beyond the report and the arrest are provided in the sources. The matter remains under police investigation.
