A man has been questioned over the brutal rape of a young mother in a Melbourne laneway.
The 28-year-old man was arrested on Saturday, interviewed and released without charge as the investigation continues, a police spokeswoman said.
The young mother, 23, had been celebrating the birth of her first child with friends when she was stalked, bashed and then raped on her walk home in the early hours of June 30.
Police say a man had followed her for about a kilometre from the city into North Melbourne before assaulting her.
Her screams startled nearby residents, prompting the man to flee with her handbag.
Detectives released CCTV footage last week of a person of interest in the attack.
