New Zealand Police investigate brutal rape

Police are searching for a group of rugby players in relation to a brutal rape in central Wellington.

A 20-year-old woman was attacked around 5am on Sunday in the area of Tory and Holland Streets.

She received injuries described by a doctor as some of the most brutal she has ever seen.

The woman says she walked past a group of men in Courtenay Place, and one of them followed her onto Tory St, where he sexually assaulted her near the back of the Mitre 10 building.

The victim tried to get away but the man followed her down a small alleyway and to the rear of the Wesley Church where she was again sexually assaulted and raped.

Detective senior sergeant Simon Perry says while they did not take part in the assault, a number of the men watched it.

He does not know which rugby club they belong to, but he wants to hear from anyone who saw the group, described as Polynesian in their early 20s.

The alleged attacker was of average height and solid build, with short frizzy hair.
