A MAN has been added to the Crimestoppers “most wanted” list after a sexual assault took place at a train station in Scotland earlier this year.
Police are searching for a man following the attack on a female, 13 and over, at Thornliebank train station on May 1.
An appeal was launched to trace the man but he has not yet been identified.
British Transport Police believe he could be vital in the investigation.
The man is described as having a Middle Eastern appearance, being in his mid-to-late twenties, having short black hair, and wearing a dark navy tracksuit.
His upper zipper had a white and light blue pattern on the chest. The bottoms had two light blue stripes down each outer side. He was also wearing a pair of grey/brown trainers.
A statement on the Crimestoppers website reads: “Detectives from British Transport Police are continuing efforts to identify a male who may be able to assist with an ongoing investigation.
“The incident in question involves the assault of a female that occurred on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, at Thornliebank Railway Station, Glasgow.
“Despite previous media appeals, the male has not yet been identified. Detectives are now seeking the assistance of Crimestoppers in identifying this individual, who is believed to be crucial in progressing the enquiry.”
Those with information are urged to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via the anonymous online store here.
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!
