POLICE continue to investigate the attempted rape of a 11-year-old at Babbs Mill Park and have advised worried locals to consider carrying personal alarms.
The daytime assault on the schoolgirl, which caused shock and concern in Kingshurst and neighbouring areas, took place on June 29.
The victim had been knocked to the ground and suffered cuts to her neck in the terrifying attack, which happened at just before 3pm. She was subsequently discharged from hospital after receiving treatment.
In a statement last week, officers said they had interviewed several people as part of their investigations and that they were looking to "eliminate potential suspects and identify the offender."
As enquiries continue, neighbourhood teams are continuing to carry out high-visibility patrols in the vicinity of the park, which has been the scene of a number of other offences in recent months.
Residents who have concerns are encouraged to read advice compiled by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust - a public safety charity.
Anyone who has any information about last month's attack should call detectives on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
