A TEENAGE woman was raped in Droitwich in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The incident happened at 3am in an alleyway between Trent Close and Worcester Road.
The woman grapped a sharp object and stabbed a man in the back, side or stomach as she defended herself.
Because of this, officers investigating the attack believe the stab wounds could be crucial in tracking down the rapist.
Det Ch Insp Steve Tonks said: “It is possible that he sought medical attention for this or attempted to treat it himself at home.
“Do you know someone who suffered a stab wound over the weekend?
“If so, we would l like to hear from you.”
Witnesses or anyone with any information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
