Detective Constable Paul Lyons from Clydebank CID said: “This incident happened in a very residential area, and, although we appreciate the time of night meaning it was dark, we are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed what happened, or who may have seen the victim or suspect immediately prior to, or after, the assault.

“Anyone with private or doorbell camera systems that we haven’t yet spoken to in the Braes Avenue area should check their systems and provide any relevant footage to us. Also any drivers recording with dash-cam are asked to check their systems to see if the incident was captured.”

Witnesses can contact Police Scotland on 101 and quote incident number 3557 of December 7 2021.
