Manhunt after two daytime indecent assaults on women

A manhunt is under way after women were indecently assaulted in two separate incidents in Glasgow.

The victim was walking along London Road when a man indecently assaulted her around 5.25pm on Tuesday, May 4.

A second woman was assaulted by a man around 5.15pm on Wednesday, May 19, on Abercromby Street, in Bridgeton. He then walked in the direction of Crownpoint Road.

Police believe the same man is responsible after they examined CCTV. He is described as white, in his late teens or early-20s, of medium build and around 6ft 2in tall.

He has a pale complexion with short brown hair and each time was wearing dark coloured clothing.

Detective constable Del McArthur, from Shettleston Police Station, said: “We have been conducting enquiries into this first incident when a second similar incident was reported yesterday, May 19. We believe the same man is responsible and these incidents are linked.

“I’d ask anyone who recognises him, or who may have seen him behaving suspiciously or inappropriately in the London Road or Bridgeton areas of Glasgow, to contact police.”

Those with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 and quote incident number 2872 of 19 May. An anonymous report can be made to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
