It happened on Wednesday at around 3:45pm, the girl was walking down Slade Lane and onto Hamilton Road in Longsight, when she walked past two men standing next to a car. One of the men tried to engage her in conversation, before dragging her into the car. She was driven to King Edward Street, where she was raped and sexually assaulted. She was then driven around, during which the attack continued, before being pushed out of the car in Levenshulme. She made her way to a nearby shop on Barlow Road, who then alerted police to the attack.
