Police are investigating an allegation of rape in Braintree town centre.

A woman left the H2O nightclub in High Street about 3am yesterday to walk home.

She told police she was approached by two men in the alleyway between London Road and Kenworthy Road, one of whom carried out the sexual assault.

The woman, whose age has not been disclosed, was due to be interviewed by detectives today.

Until then no more details, including descriptions of the suspects, are available.

An Essex Police spokeswoman said the woman was resting before a full interview would be carried out.
