A MAN was found lying in a park after being raped by two men.

A passerby phoned an ambulance when they saw the 27-year-old victim in distress in Goffs Park in Crawley.

The man said he was walking through the park at sometime between 9.35am and 11.40am on Friday when he was pushed against a wall, forced to the floor and raped by two men.

Detective sergeant Lex Witek said: "The victim has been supported by specially trained officers. We believe this was not a stranger attack but carried out by people known to him."
