A probe has been launched after a hooded man attacked a woman on a Scots street.
The 48-year-old woman was assaulted on Shanwell Road in Carnoustie, Angus around 9.45pm last night.
Police say the man was wearing a face covering and had his hood up at the time of the attack.
Detective Chief Inspector Keith Duncan from CID said cops were going door to door.
He said: “The woman was walking in Shanwell Road yesterday evening when she was approached by a man and assaulted, she was understandably shocked by the incident but thankfully unhurt.
“The man has been described as being aged in his early 20’s with a tanned complexion, of slim build, about 5’6” in height, wearing a dark coloured thin top, dark joggers and dark trainers.
"He had something similar to a snood or bandana covering covering his mouth and also had a hood up.
“The area has been cordoned off to allow specialist officers to search the area.
" Detectives will be in the area conducting door to door enquiries and reviewing CCTV.
“Although concerning to residents in the Carnoustie area, there is nothing at this time to link this incident with the assault of a woman near Craigmill Den on Wednesday, 11 August, 2021.
"Anyone with any information should contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting 3774 of 26 August, 2021."
