iStockA woman has been sexually assaulted by a man who was staring and waving at her on board a train from Edinburgh.
The victim was on the 8.32pm service between the capital and Montrose when the attack took place on Friday, October 22.
She noticed that a man, who got on the train at Edinburgh Waverley, was sitting staring at her throughout the journey.
