THE hunt is on to find a man who sexually assaulted a woman as she ran along the River Clyde.

The incident, which happened on April 24, saw the woman running along the water at Dalmarnock at around 7pm when she was stopped by a man on a bike.

He spoke to her before asking if she wanted a massage. The woman was then indecently assaulted before she was able to make off.

The man is described as Asian, with a strong Indian accent, aged between 20 and 29, around 5ft 6, of slim build and had short, black, untidy hair.

He is also described as having misaligned teeth and wearing a light grey jumper, blue baggy jeans and brown leather sandals.

He was carrying a dark-coloured satchel-style bag.

Police Constable Jonathon Wieczorek, at London Road Police Office, said officers have been following a number of lines of enquiry since the incident was reported, “which have so far proved negative.”

He added: “We are looking for further information from the public to help trace the man responsible.

“Although the woman was not injured during the incident, it has left her concerned about going out on her own and unable to trust people who approach her.

“Nobody should feel unsafe where they live and, therefore, we take these types of incidents very seriously.

“We are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed this incident take place, or have encountered a man in the area matching the description, to come forward and contact us.

“Do you remember anyone trying to approach you? This area is extremely busy with runners, cyclists and walkers, many of whom use it on a regularly basis. We urge you to think back.”

Anyone with information should contact Police via 101, quoting incident number 3147 of Monday, April 30 2018.
