Two Afghans allegedly pinned a woman down and raped her at knifepoint in a London park, a court has heard.
Noorullah Ahmdzai, 26, and a second teenage defendant who cannot be named allegedly attacked the woman on August 16 last year.
The woman said she was spending time with a male friend in Barking Park, east London, before being approached by the two men, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard this week.
Giving evidence, the woman claimed one of the alleged attackers had a big beard.

“He was talking in an accent, like people from Afghanistan talk,” she said.
“He pulled [my trousers] down,” she added. “He was trying to kiss me.”
She then said the two men allegedly raped her.
Barrister Emily Culverhouse, defending, cross-examined the woman.
“There was an agreement that you would have sex with both men for £70?”, she asked the woman.
“No, that is not true,” the alleged victim told the court.
“One of them was pushing me against the ground so that I can’t move, and the other person was on me. One of them was grabbing my legs.
“I don’t remember who tried to kiss me but one of them tried to kiss me,” she told the court.
Ms Culverhouse said: “You complained because you wanted £500.”
