A teenage girl has been taken to hospital after she was attacked in a flat in a Dunbartonshire town.
The 19-year-old was rushed to the Royal Alexandria Hospital in Paisley following reports of an assault at a home in the Hood Court area of Helensburgh on Wednesday, July 5, at around 1am.
Officers from Police Scotland believe a male entered the property through an unlocked door before attacking the teen. She was transferred to hospital by paramedics after suffering injuries to her wrist and head.
Cops are hunting for a male suspect who has been described as being around 6ft in height, of heavy build, with a short scruffy brown beard.
He was last seen wearing an orange high-vis type jacket with a reflective line worn with the hood up.
DC Adam McCreery said: “Understandably, this attack has left the victim very shaken and I am appealing to anyone with information that could assist with our enquiries to get in touch.
"We are particularly interested in anyone who may have CCTV in the area, to check their footage between 11.30pm and 1.30am.”
