A manhunt has been launched after a teenage girl was attacked at a reservoir in Renfrewshire.

The 17-year-old victim was assaulted at Barcraigs Reservoir at around 8pm on Saturday, July 24.

The teen was then taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley for treatment to a facial injury before being released.

The suspect is believed to be around 30-years-old. He was described as bald and with a heavy build, and was wearing a red Lacoste baseball cap and red shorts.

The attacker was also with two other men and they had fishing equipment with them.

On Monday, detective constable Laura Sokolov said: “This was a frightening experience for the girl involved and we are appealing to anyone who may have been in the area at the time of the incident who witnessed the assault or to anyone who may recognise the description of the male to contact police via 101.”
