Police said the girl was in the company of another 14-year-old girl when the incident happened on Alexandra Parade at about 11pm on Thurdsay.

Detective Inspector Douglas Wilson, of Dunoon CID, said:"This enquiry is at a very early stage and we have still to clarify exactly what happened.

"At this time, there is no description of a suspect.

"Alexandra Parade is normally quite busy with pedestrians and passing traffic and I would appeal to anyone who was in the area around 2300 hours on Thursday evening and saw the girls to come forward."
