Teenage girl sexually assaulted on Paisley street in early hours of the morning

A teenager has been sexually assaulted in a Paisley street in the early hours of the morning.

The 17-year-old girl was assaulted between 2.40am and 3.30am today (Saturday, November 27) in the area of George Place, Browns Lane and Shuttle Street.

Police Scotland is now appealing for witnesses as part of their investigation into the incident.

Detective Inspector Colin MacRitchie said: “We are working to establish the full circumstances of this incident and our initial enquiries with CCTV provide that the area was busy with pedestrians around this time.

“It is believed several members of the public may have come to the assistance of a distressed young woman in that area of Paisley town centre who then left before speaking with officers.
