A 22-year-old man has been arrested and charged after a woman in her 20s was attacked in the centre of Peterborough. The attack prompted police to close off part of the city centre on January 6 as an investigation into the attack got under way.

Mohammed Beila, 22, of Eastfield Road, Peterborough, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon (7 February).

He has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent.

The attack happened between 5.10am and 5.40am on Saturday, 6 January, in Church Walk, off Broadway, in the city centre.
