Shocking news this evening.

A 17-year-old was allegedly taken from a Pizza Hut yesterday evening before she was raped and stabbed.

According to The Evening Standard, the incident happened in the Waterloo branch of Pizza Hut located near Epson, Surrey.

It’s believed that a man walked into the food outlet and accosted the girl. When a member of staff attempted to intervene, the man “dragged” the teenager away with him.

Police were alerted and began a full-scale search in the area at approximately 10:30pm.

A man was arrested shortly after and the girl was found in nearby Pound Lane with a stab wound.

The teenager is currently in hospital in a serious, but not life-threatening, condition.

Detectives are questioning the man in relation to charges of attempted murder, kidnap, rape and grievous bodily harm (GBH).

They believe the attack was pre-meditated and that the girl knew the man in question.
