A manhunt has been launched for a thug who attacked a young teenage girl as she was walking to school in Edinburgh.
The 14-year-old was assaulted in Davidson's Mains Park on a footpath by a man around 8am on Friday April 30.
She was walking through the park when she was assaulted by a male suspect, who then ran off the path through the wooded area towards Barnton Park Avenue.
She was not injured in the attack but has been left very upset by the incident.
The male suspect is described as being white, around 6ft tall, aged late 30s to early 40s.
He was clean shaven with short brown hair and was wearing a long-sleeved black hooded top, a yellow high visibility vest and black combat style trousers.
Police are urging anyone with information to get in touch.
Inspector Keith Forrester, of Corstorphine Police Station, said: " Thankfully the victim was not injured, however understandably this was an upsetting incident for her.
"It happened near to a local school just before the start of the school day and so there may have been numerous people in the area at that time.
"I am therefore appealing to anyone who was in the Davidson's Mains Park area this morning, and saw a man matching this description, to get in touch.
“If you were driving past the park at the time and have a dashcam, I would ask you to check back to see if you have captured footage of the suspect."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 1081 of 30 April, 2021.
