Police are appealing for information following a sexual assault in Paisley.

The incident happened around 4:35pm on Thursday (December 9) when a woman was walking along Renfrew Road.

The woman was approached by a man on a bicycle, who on passing her, slapped her bottom. The man then shouted something to her before making off.

The man is described as white and in his late teens to early 20s. He was wearing a black hooded top, black jogging trousers and black trainers. He was also wearing a black face covering, and his bike was black with red markings.

Police say they will be gathering CCTV footage from the area where the attack took place in a bid to identify the man, and are appealing to motorists and the public who may have seen the cyclist to contact them.

Constable James Rennie said: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable. We will be gathering CCTV footage from that area and reviewing it for any additional information on the suspect.

"I would appeal to motorists and members of the public who were in the area at the time to think back and consider if you saw this cyclist. If you have any dashcam devices, please check your footage as it could have captured images which would assist us in identifying this man.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2293 of 9 December, 2021. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where you can give your information and remain anonymous.
