Racially Charged Rape Shocks West Midlands
A young British Sikh woman in her 20s has been raped in a horrifying racially aggravated attack in Oldbury, West Midlands. The assault took place in broad daylight on Tuesday morning, sparking a major police investigation.
Details of the Savage Attack
The victim was assaulted between 8am and 8.30am on Tame Road. Before the brutal attack, the two suspects reportedly shouted racist abuse, saying, “You don’t belong in this country, get out.” The area near an overbridge close to the M5 motorway has been cordoned off as police hunt the offenders.
Police Hunting Two White Male Suspects
Police are appealing for witnesses to help find the attackers. One suspect is described as a heavy-built white man with a shaved head, wearing a dark sweatshirt and gloves. The other was seen in a grey top with a silver zip.
Community Outraged: Sikh Federation Speaks Out
Dabinderjit Singh, political lead at the Sikh Federation (UK), slammed the attack as “brazen” and shocking due to its timing on a busy road in daylight. The Federation is now offering support to the traumatised victim as the community reels with anger and fear.

Chief Superintendent Kim Madill of Sandwell Police insists the attack is an isolated incident. Authorities are combing CCTV footage and conducting thorough enquiries. Madill promised increased police presence to reassure residents and prevent further violence.
MP Condemns Brutal Crime, Calls for Action
