Teen sexually assaulted in Sydney carpark

Police are hunting for two men after a 16-year-old girl was attacked in a library car park in Liverpool.

A teenage girl has been sexually assaulted in a car park after meeting a group of men at a Sydney library.

Police say the 16-year-old girl was in the Liverpool library forecourt on Saturday night when six men approached her.

The girl told police she spoke with the men before being invited to meet a mutual friend.

She was then sexually assaulted by two of the men in a car park stairwell.

The group of men, described as African in appearance and aged about 20 years old, were last seen walking toward a Macquarie Street shopping centre.

The girl walked back to the library and police were called.

Detectives are calling for anyone with information to come forward.

The attack follows two similar assaults in Sydney's west this year.

In February a girl was allegedly the victim of a pack rape in a Doonside park.

Four teenagers were charged over the attack.

Two months later two teenage girls were coaxed off a Sydney train and raped in a Fairfield park.
