A man has been found lying in a park in West Sussex after allegedly being raped by two men in broad daylight.
The 27-year-old victim said he was walking through Goffs Park in Crawley when he was attacked by two men.
He was found in in a “distressed state” by a member of the public at around 12:20pm last Friday, who phoned an ambulance.
The man said he had pushed against a wall before being forced to the floor and raped by the men while in the park between 9:35am and 11:40am.
Police said the attackers may be known to the victim.
Detective Sergeant Lex Witek said: "The victim wasn't physically hurt but was in a distressed state. He has been supported by specially trained officers. We believe this was not a stranger attack but carried out by people known to him.”
Sussex Police are now appealing for witnesses and are urging anyone with information to contact them by emailing 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or ringing 101 quoting serial 580 of 19/08.
