Glasgow Sex Assault Appeal

Detectives in Glasgow are continuing enquiries after a woman was indecently assaulted on Saturday in the Govan area.

The 37-year-old woman was in a car park at Water Row, just off Govan Road, at around 8.30pm when she noticed a man lying on the ground.

As she approached the man to see if he needed assistance, he got up, pushed her to the ground and indecently assaulted her, police said.

He then ran off leaving the woman with minor injuries although she did not require any medical treatment.

Police said the suspect is described as white, 5’7” tall, blond hair in a ‘mullet’ style. He was wearing a beige jacket and blue trousers.

Detective Sergeant Mick McCarron at Helen Street CID said he would like to speak to anyone who may have seen the suspect hanging around the area either prior to this incident taking place or running off afterwards.
