Student cops chase down and arrest park rapist

This is the dramatic moment two student police officers chased down a rapist in the street after he attacked a woman in a park.

Awalkhan Sultankhail, 24, approached his victim on Golden Hillock Road, Small Heath, Birmingham, at around 4pm on August 27 last year.

A court heard he attempted to start a conversation with her, but when she walked away from him, he dragged her into the bushes and raped her.

Sultankhail fled when he was disturbed by a member of the public, who called the police.

As a result of CCTV footage and the brave victim's detailed description of her attacker, PCs Declan McDevitt and Peter Jones were able to recognise Sultankhail while out on reassurance patrols in the area four days later.

Video footage shows the two officers chasing him, and he was eventually cornered on Ladypool Road in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, and arrested for the attack.
