TRNSMT fan sexually assaulted behind toilet block at Glasgow festival as cops hunt two men

Police are hunting two men after a woman was sexually assaulted behind a toilet block a TRNSMT Festival.

At around 10pm on Friday the 32-year-old woman was grabbed by one man and then sexually assaulted by another man as she made her way to the toilets believed to be near to the main stage.

Three men walking by shouted at the suspects and they ran off leaving the woman to make her way back to her family and alert police.

Police are now appealing for those three men to contact them.

The suspects are both described as white, six foot in height and of medium build with dark hair.

One was wearing a black t-shirt with a small logo on the front and the other a white t-shirt with black writing.

Detective Sergeant Euan Keil said: “The woman was making her way to the toilets when she was grabbed by one man and pulled to the rear of the toilet block where another man sexually assaulted her.

“Her attackers fled when they were disturbed by three men who were walking by the area and who shouted at them.

“I don’t think the three men realised what was actually going on or that their intervention probably stopped this attack from escalating.

“It is important that we trace them as what they saw could prove vital to us catching the two men responsible.”

A TRNSMT festival spokesman told the Record: “We are doing everything possible to help emergency services with their enquiries but our focus at this moment is the wellbeing of the person involved, and we are ensuring that they have all the support that they need.”

Any information can be passed on by calling 101, quote incident 1094 of the July 12.

Alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
