A 13-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of raping another teenage boy in a broad daylight attack in north London.
A forensic tent was set up at the scene and was still in place on Wednesday, witnesses said.
A Met Police spokesman said: “Police investigating a rape in Roe Green Park, Kingsbury Road, at around 9am on Tuesday, May 16, have made an arrest.
“A 13-year-old boy was arrested on Wednesday, May 17 on suspicion of rape.
"He remains in custody at a north London police station.
“The victim, a boy aged in his early teens, was assaulted by another male in the park.”
