Epsom Rape Protest Sparks Unrest

The demonstration turned violent as some participants hurled objects at officers, leading to a disorder warning from Surrey Police.

A woman in her 20s is believed to have been followed from a nightclub and assaulted outside Epsom Methodist Church over the weekend.

The church's minister has condemned the 'intimidating' nature of the protests while calling for a community prayer service.

Police have urged calm and stated that releasing premature information could jeopardize the ongoing investigation.
