A manhunt has been launched in Renfrewshire for a cyclist who slapped a woman’s bottom as he sped past.

The man also shouted something at his victim during the sex attack in Paisley’s Renfrew Road at around 4.35pm on Thursday.

The suspect is believed to be in his late teens to early 20s. He was wearing a black hoodie, black jogging trousers and black trainers.

He was also wearing a black face covering and his bike was black with red markings.

Constable James Rennie said: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable.

“We will be gathering CCTV footage from that area and reviewing it for any additional information on the suspect.

“I would appeal to motorists and members of the public who were in the area at the time to think back and consider if you saw this cyclist.

“If you have any dashcam devices, please check your footage as it could have captured images which would assist us in identifying this man.”

If you have any information, call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
