Manhunt launched after two daytime assaults on women in Glasgow

A manhunt is underway after two women were assaulted in Glasgow.

At around 5.25pm on Tuesday, May 4 a woman was walking along London Road when she was approached by a man who indecently assaulted her.

Then on May 19, at around 5.15pm, another woman was assaulted by a man, this time in Abercromby Street.

The attacker made off in the direction of Crownpoint Road.

After scouring CCTV footage officers think the same man might be responsible for both incidents.

He is described as white, in his late teens or early twenties, of medium build and around six foot, two inches tall.

The man has a pale complexion and short brown hair.

At the time of each attack he wore dark coloured clothing.

Police are urging witnesses or those who recognise the man from the description to come forward.

Detective Constable Del McArthur said: “We have been conducting enquiries into this first incident when a second similar incident was reported on 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 May 19.

"An anonymous report can be made to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
