POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a teenager was allegedly sexually assaulted in Glasgow during the early hours of Saturday.
A 39-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the alleged attack on the 19-year-old woman and subsequently released, Police Scotland said.
Officers are now appealing for witnesses and attempting to track down another woman who flagged down the police.
The incident is believed to have occurred near the roundabout junction between Dumbarton Road and Broomhill Drive, just off the Clydeside Expressway, between 3.15am and 3.45am.
Detective Inspector Mark McLennan of the Greater Glasgow Division Public Protection Unit said: “We are carrying out extensive enquiries to establish the full circumstances of this incident and are appealing to anyone with information which could help to come forward.
“In particular, we would be keen to speak to a woman who stopped officers near the roundabout at the time. She left the area without leaving her details and we would be keen to speak further to her.”
Anyone who can help is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident 2682 of May 8, 2021, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
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!
