A 12-year-old girl was assaulted in a vile racist attack at Calderglen Country Park.
The shocking incident happened near to the waterfall at around 6.30pm on Easter Monday.
The youngster was with her family when she was approached by a group of teenage girls.
They made a racist comment towards the victim before punching her to the face and dragging her to the ground by the hair.
Police say they are following a positive line of enquiry.
