A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of rape after a woman was attacked in a north London park.
Police and paramedics were called to Parkland Walk in Crouch End at about 10.30pm on Tuesday, following the alleged attack.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of rape and has been remanded in custody.
The leafy neighborhood, known for its high-value properties, has been left reeling after the alleged attack, with residents expressing their fears and concerns.
Detectives have launched a rape investigation and are urging anyone with information to come forward.
Forensics officers and search teams have been at the scene scouring for clues, while officers have been carrying out door-to-door inquiries.
The park was still cordoned off as locals expressed their fears in the wake of the attack, with many describing it as "very worrying" and "a huge shock".
Residents said the area was previously considered a "safe bubble", but the alleged attack has left them feeling concerned about their safety.
A teacher, who lives on the edge of the park, said: "This is a lovely neighborhood and this is a huge shock. It's a nice family area, this is just obviously very concerning, and we need to know if it's safe to use the park."
A mother-of-two, who works in graphic design, added: "It's frightening to think what happened in our lovely park. We are not sure if it's safe to go out and use the park, especially as everyone uses it as a cut-through."
A dog walker said: "Parkland Walk is a green oasis around here. To think that someone was attacked there like that is so upsetting. It makes me wonder if it's safe to walk my dog there, something I have been doing for more than 10 years."
