A man has been arrested on suspicion of raping four people in separate attacks in a city centre.

The victims, men and women, were attacked in Manchester when they were intoxicated and then had their personal items taken, Greater Manchester Police said.

Det Supt Richard Hunt said the "truly horrific crimes" dated back to February.

The suspect, in his 40s, is being questioned in police custody.

Det Supt Hunt said: 鈥淣o-one should feel unsafe when walking the streets of Greater Manchester.

"Our specialist officers have been and are continuing to support those involved in these incidents, and we are doing all we can to provide the appropriate care that they need at this time."

He added: "We urge anyone who has experienced sexual violence or abuse to please come forward and report it to us.

"Every report will be thoroughly investigated, and we will ensure that you and your loved ones are fully supported every step of the way as we seek justice."
