A woman has been attacked in a north London garden and a man charged on suspicion of rape and strangulation.

Kyle Kinsella, 26, of Arlington Drive, Warrington, was yesterday (July 1) charged with rape and internal strangulation.

This came after a woman was attacked on June 27 in Edgware.

She had been walking along the road when a man jumped out and dragged her into the garden before attacking her, police said.
