Gardai in Dublin have arrested a man in connection with the abduction and rape of a 19-year-old prostitute in September. The woman was abducted in south Dublin and taken to a Co Wicklow forest, where she was raped repeatedly.

The man, who is in his mid-30s and from the north inner city, was arrested at his home earlier this week. He was questioned and released and a file is being prepared for the DPP.

Gardai want to question two other men in connection with the incident.
