A 17-year-old man has been charged after an 18-year-old woman was allegedly raped in Dundee city centre.

Police say the attack happened in a car park near student flats on Johnston Street shortly before 3am on Sunday.

Police in Dundee launched an investigation, with a cordon erected around the private car park, near Marketgait Apartments, on Monday morning.

A description of the suspect and an appeal for witnesses was then issued on Wednesday.
