Police have launched a hate crime investigation after a Sikh woman in her twenties was raped and racially abused in broad daylight.
The victim was assaulted by two white men, who shouted “you don’t belong here” as they attacked her, authorities confirmed. The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, highlighting rising concerns about racially motivated violence in the UK.
Detectives described the attack as “a brutal hate crime” and have appealed for witnesses. “We will not tolerate acts of racial or sexual violence in our communities,” a West Midlands Police spokesperson said. “This was a deeply distressing incident, and we are doing everything possible to bring the perpetrators to justice.”

Community leaders and advocacy groups have condemned the assault, warning that hostility towards minorities is no longer confined to online abuse. “This case shows that racist hatred against Indians and other minorities is spilling over into our streets,” said one spokesperson for a Sikh community organisation.
Campaigners are calling for stronger protections for women and ethnic minorities, as well as harsher penalties for hate-motivated crimes. The attack, they argue, reflects a disturbing climate in which immigrants and minority groups are increasingly targeted.
Police are urging anyone with information to come forward. In the meantime, support services have been made available for the victim, and local organisations have pledged to stand in solidarity with the Sikh community.
