A 23-year-old man has been charged with sexual assault and false imprisonment.

Gabriel Partene was arrested following a police CCTV appeal related to the incident in which a woman in her 30s was allegedly attacked in Taylor’s Lane, Worcester.

The alleged attack happened just after 4am on Saturday in the lane, which is a narrow street between Sansome Walk and The Tything, and to the side of Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum.

Partene, of Arboretum Road, is set to appear at Worcester Magistrates Court tomorrow.

Officers from Worcester CID have thanked everyone who shared the appeal and provided information.

And police say they would still welcome any information as the investigation is ongoing, by calling 101 and quoting incident 104 of January 26.

Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
