"An urgent investigation is now ongoing and detectives are working to establish the details around exactly what happened," the police said."At this stage we don't believe the suspect and the victims were known to each other." Britain's police forces remain on high alert after days of riots earlier this month, which were triggered by false online posts wrongly identifying the suspected killer of three girls in northern England as a migrant.
Desmond added that the attacker did not resist arrest and was handcuffed without struggle. The attacker focused mainly on the girl during the assault.
