A WOMAN was assaulted in the early hours of the morning in Glasgow's West End.
The 21-year-old was walking on Kelvin Way when she was approached from behind by a man who attacked her at around 3.55am on Saturday.
She suffered minor injuries.
Officers have launched a search to trace the suspect said to be involved in this "frightening" incident.
The suspect is described as male, mid-50s, around 5ft 10ins in height, of slim build with short grey hair.
He was wearing a blue jacket and blue jeans.
The force said the man left the scene on foot after the assault and headed towards Argyle Street and Sauchiehall Street.
Detective Inspector Darren Munogee, of Cathcart CID, said: "This was a frightening incident for the victim and despite it happening in the early hours of the morning, we are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed what happened, or who may have seen the victim or suspect immediately prior to, or after, the assault.
"I would like to reassure the local community that officers will be conducting additional patrols in the area throughout the investigation."
Anyone with information is urged to contact police on 101, quoting incident number 0689 of December 18, 2021.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
