Man added to 'most wanted' list after sexual assault at Scottish train station

A MAN has been added to the Crimestoppers “most wanted” list after a sexual assault took place at a train station in Scotland earlier this year.

Police are searching for a man following the attack on a female, 13 and over, at Thornliebank train station on May 1.

An appeal was launched to trace the man but he has not yet been identified.

British Transport Police believe he could be vital in the investigation.

The man is described as having a Middle Eastern appearance, being in his mid-to-late twenties, having short black hair, and wearing a dark navy tracksuit.

His upper zipper had a white and light blue pattern on the chest. The bottoms had two light blue stripes down each outer side. He was also wearing a pair of grey/brown trainers.

A statement on the Crimestoppers website reads: “Detectives from British Transport Police are continuing efforts to identify a male who may be able to assist with an ongoing investigation.

“The incident in question involves the assault of a female that occurred on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, at Thornliebank Railway Station, Glasgow.

“Despite previous media appeals, the male has not yet been identified. Detectives are now seeking the assistance of Crimestoppers in identifying this individual, who is believed to be crucial in progressing the enquiry.”

Those with information are urged to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via the anonymous online store here.
