Police are appealing for information from the public after a man entered a woman's flat in Govan and exposed himself.

The incident happened in the early hours of this morning at a block in Elizabeth Street.

The woman woke up at around 3am and discovered an unknown man in her flat, which was a deeply upsetting experience. The woman cried out and is thought to have startled the intruder, causing him to make a swift exit via the communal stairwell.

Fortunately, no one was injured as a result.

The suspect is described as white, in his early 20s, and of slim build. It is believed that he had short brown hair and was around 5ft 7ins. He was wearing a dark coloured jogging top and blue jogging bottoms.

He also spoke with a Scottish accent.

“The man left via the communal stair area and I am appealing to anyone who may have seen him to get in touch.

“If you saw this man acting suspiciously in the area, or have private CCTV that could assist with our investigation, then please contact us.”
