A 15 year old girl was raped at last night’s carnival at a side street at Pelbridge Road, she reported.
As the second day of Britain’s biggest annual street carnival concluded with after party’s continuing in pubs, police revealed record high numbers in arrests over the two day celebration.
Over 450 arrests were made in the two days, with four stabbings reported yesterday.
However, late last night, a 15 year old who managed to evade detection by doormen, went to the female’s toilet, where she reported her ordeal to a few female party goers.

The teenager told the girls she was reluctant to report the assault to police because she was not supposed to leave the house that day, and was fearful of consequences from her mother.
After much persuasion by the girl’s, in the female toilet, it was decided that the correct thing to do was to call the police and report the attack.
A team of over half a dozen officers then came into the bar, where music had been playing and people had been dancing a an part of an extension of the concluded carnival party.

About three officers spoke to the girl in the toilet, whilst further four stood I’m front of the door to prevent anyone from getting into the toilet.
As one drunk girl previously in the toilet emerged out of it, she randomly slapped one of the officers mischievously, in a playful but stupidly daring.
The officer seemed shocked, but his colleague said had that been him, the girl see be in the nick (arrested.)
When asked later why she did it, she told the eye of media.com “because I can”. “The officers have come to ruin our party just because some girl whose mum did not want her out decided to go out”, she said.
It was quite insensitive of her, but it happened. A statement was eventually taken from the girl, and the hunt for the perpetrator continues.
