A boy has been charged with the knifepoint rape and robbery of a woman in her forties.

It is alleged the 15-year-old attacked the woman in Sutcliffe Park in Kidbrooke, south east London, on 19 April.

The teenager, who is from Lee Green in south east London but cannot be named due to his age, is alleged to have threatened another member of public with a knife in the same park on 19 April.

He is also charged with robbing a woman at knifepoint in Handen Road, Lee, south east London, three days earlier.

The teenager was arrested on Tuesday by detectives from the Metropolitan Police's Sexual Offences, Exploitation & Child Abuse Command.

He will appear in custody at Bromley Youth Court on Thursday.
