Trainee police officer Mohammad Hassan has been suspended by Greater Manchester Police after being charged in connection with the alleged kidnapping and rape of a woman in her 20s while he was off duty over the weekend.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed that charges had been brought against the 23-year-old student officer in relation to the alleged rape and kidnapping of a woman in Manchester. The force said Hassan, who was described as being of Asian-Pakistani ethnicity, has been suspended from duty while the case proceeds.

According to the BBC, police received an emergency 999 call on Saturday night after a woman was reportedly heard in distress inside a moving vehicle. Officers subsequently pursued and arrested Hassan in West Yorkshire following a police pursuit on the M62 motorway.

The woman, who is in her 20s, was assisted by officers at the scene. The Daily Telegraph reported that Hassan was allegedly driving his personal vehicle during the pursuit rather than a police vehicle.

The allegations are now subject to legal proceedings, and the charges against Hassan have yet to be determined in court.
