A man has been arrested after a woman said she had been raped in north-west London on Saturday evening.
The Metropolitan Police were called at 23:45 GMT to reports of an attack on Church Hill, near the high street close to Harrow School, Harrow-on the Hill.
Officers attended the scene and have since been providing the woman with specialist support, the Met said.
The force has added that a male detained on Monday in connection with the incident remains in custody and enquiries are ongoing.
