A man being held in Belfast in connection with an investigation into a serious sexual assault on a 15-year-old girl has been released on bail.
He was arrested after a major police hunt yesterday for two men involved in the attack in west Belfast.
The PSNI say the victim's mother was called on a stolen mobile phone after the assault in which two men - one wielding a screwdriver - subjected the girl to two sexual assaults early on Saturday.
The second attacker used a metal bar to batter three boys she was with as they tried to rescue her.
It is understood the man released is not the suspected rapist, and police say inquiries are ongoing.
The girl, who is from the north of England but was holidaying in Belfast, was left severely traumatised. She was confronted by the pair as she walked along Blacks Road with friends just before 3am.
Cash and mobile phones were stolen before the girl was dragged into a petrol station forecourt and raped.
The boys, two 15-year-olds and one aged 14, were ordered to strip to the waist and then beaten repeatedly. The youngsters were then taken up a driveway at the nearby Colin Valley Golf Centre, where the girl was raped again.
