TROWBRIDGE Police are investigating the alleged rape of a 27-year-old woman in the toilets of a Trowbridge pub.

Officers were called to the Black Horse pub, Frome Road, on Friday afternoon after receiving reports of an attack in a cubicle of the women's toilets.

Detectives cordoned off the building for investigation and are awaiting the results of forensic tests. A 24-year-old man from Warminster was arrested later in the afternoon and has been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Det Sgt Dave Martin, of Trowbridge police, said: "We are appealing for anyone who was in the Black Horse and saw anything to contact us."
