A WOMAN has been sexually assaulted while walking down a road in Paisley.

She was walking along Renfrew Road at around 4.35pm on Thursday afternoon when a man on a bicycle approached her.

He slapped her bottom and shouted at her before leaving on his bike.

The man is described as white, in his late teens to early 20s, wearing a black hooded top, black jogging trousers and black trainers.

He was wearing a black face covering and his bike was black with red markings.

Constable James Rennie said: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable. We will be gathering CCTV footage from that area and reviewing it for any additional information on the suspect.

"I would appeal to motorists and members of the public who were in the area at the time to think back and consider if you saw this cyclist.

"If you have any dash cam devices, please check your footage as it could have captured images which would assist us in identifying this man.”

"Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2293 of December 9, 2021. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where you can give your information and remain anonymous."
