DETECTIVES have charged a 20-year-old man with rape over an alleged attack last week.

The attack happened in Derry’s Glenabbey Drive on Friday.

A 23-year-old woman is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after the incident.

The man has also been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and a number of other offences.

The PSNI say he is due to appear at Derry Magistrates’ Court later later this morning for a first remand appearance.
