Teenage girl sexually assaulted after leaving cinema with friend in Glasgow

A manhunt is underway after a teenage girl was sexually assaulted in Glasgow city centre.

The 16-year-old was walking with her friend in Renfrew Street, near the junction with Cambridge Street at around 10.30pm on Wednesday when a man approached them.

The girls claim he had followed them from a cinema on Renfrew Street, along nearby Sauchiehall Street just before the incident.

 

The suspect touched the victim inappropriately over the clothing.

He made off along Cambridge Street, towards Cowcaddens Road.

The man is described as black, between 18 and 25-years-old, of a slim build and with short, black hair.

He was wearing a black hooded jacket, beige jogging trousers and white trainers.

Detective Constable Chris Smith said: “Officers have been carrying out enquiries into this incident and studying a wide range of CCTV footage to gather more information on the man responsible.  

“The girls have reported that they had seen the suspect following them from a cinema on Renfrew Street and along Sauchiehall Street shortly before the incident.

“We are working to trace him as soon as possible and are urging anyone who saw a man matching his description acting suspiciously, or who can assist our investigation, to contact officers through 101 quoting reference number 4067 of February 12.

"Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
