Police are investigating after a young British-born Sikh woman was raped by two men who told her 'you don't belong in the country' during the horror sex attack.

The victim, aged in her 20s, was sexually assaulted, raped and brutally beaten by the evil thugs in the area around Tame Road, Oldbury, West Mids.

Officers were called to the scene after the woman reported being horrifically attacked in broad daylight at around 8.30am on Tuesday (9/9).

During the harrowing incident, the monsters told her: "You don't belong in this country, get out."

West Midlands Police are treating the attack as racially aggravated and has urged any witnesses to contact the force urgently.

Sikh Youth UK said it had met and is supporting the victim and her family and urged the wider community to "remain vigilant and ensure family members are safe," "

This disturbing attack follows the recent assault of two elderly Sikh taxi drivers in nearby Wolverhampton.

Dabinderjit Singh OBE, the lead executive for political engagement at the Sikh Federation (UK) said: "The attack took place in broad daylight on a busy road where the local MP has his office."

"We have reached out to Gurinder Singh Josan, the MP for Smethwick, to take urgent action, but have not yet had a response."

"Politicians from all political parties should have zero tolerance for all violent racist attacks."

"The current racist political environment is driven by popularism and created by politicians playing the "anti-immigration card' who are unashamedly exploiting those with right-wing and racist views."

"More than 48 hours later we await the public condemnation by politicians on all sides of this brutal racist and sexual attack where a young Sikh woman has been viciously beaten and raped."

The men are described as being white, one had a shaved head, heavy build, and was reported to be wearing a dark coloured sweatshirt and had gloves on.

The second suspect was reportedly wearing a grey top with a silver zip.

Chief Superintendent Kim Madill, of Sandwell Police, said: "We are working really hard to identify those responsible, with CCTV, forensic and other enquiries well under way."

"We fully understand the anger and worry that this has caused, and I am speaking to people in the community today to reassure them that we are doing everything we can to identify and arrest those responsible."

"Incidents like this are incredibly rare, but people can expect to see extra patrols in the area."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the force via 101 quoting log 798 of September 9.
