A WOMAN was assaulted by a man as she walked along a street in the west end of Glasgow, police have said.
The 21-year-old was attacked and suffered minor injuries in the early hours of Saturday on Kelvin Way.
Police Scotland are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which took place at about 3.55am.
The suspect is described as being in his mid-50s and with short grey hair. He wore a blue jacket and blue jeans.
After the assault, he left towards Sauchiehall Street and Argyll Street.
Detective Inspector Darren Munogee said: “This was a frightening incident for the victim and despite it happening in the early hours of the morning, we are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed what happened, or who may have seen the victim or suspect immediately prior to, or after, the assault.
“I would like to reassure the local community that officers will be conducting additional patrols in the area throughout the investigation.”
Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0689 of December 18.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
