Rape attack foiled when Holloway residents hear woman’s screams and come to her rescue

The 30-year-old victim was on her way home from the Big Red pub in Holloway Road on Sunday, May 5 at about 2.20am.

As she walked past Loraine Mansions in Widdenham Road, a man pushed her into a front garden, put his hand over her mouth and tried to rape her.

People living in the area heard her cries and managed to scare off the attacker, who fled towards Quemerford Road.

Police are now hunting the man, who is thought to have been involved in another attempted assault in Camden Road shortly before this attack.
