Indian women and girls protest.

Police in India have arrested a man in his 30s for the alleged rape and assault of an 86-year-old grandmother.

The BBC reports that the woman was waiting outside her home for the milkman when she was approached by her attacker.

The man told the woman that her regular milk delivery man wasn't coming and offered to take her to the place where she could get milk.

Police say the woman trustingly accompanied him adding that the man took her to a nearby farm where he raped her.

They say local villagers who were passing by heard her cries and rescued her and handed over the attacker to the police.
