Police are continuing to hunt for three men who subjected a woman to a tirade of racial abuse whilst on a train to Cambuslang.

The three men started taking pictures of her on the rush hour train and then shouted at her, calling her “white trash” and other names.

British Transport Police are now appealing for information from anyone on the train who may have witnessed the terrifying incident.

The woman was travelling on the 5.36pm train from Wishaw to Glasgow Central on Friday, October 14.

After racially abusing her, the men got off the train at Cambuslang and then made sexual gestures towards her, before leaving the station.

The men were Asian, in their twenties and all around 5ft 8ins tall. One was of medium build and was wearing a black jacket, dark jogging bottoms and dark trainers.

Another was wearing blue jeans and the third man was wearing grey Nike tracksuit bottoms.

Investigating officer PC Victoria Graham said: “This incident happened on a packed commuter train and so I think there may have been a lot of people who witnessed the incident but may not have realised the distress it was causing the victim.

“She was very upset and distressed by what had happened and for someone to be made to feel like this is completely unacceptable.

“If anyone saw what happened, please do come forward and let us know.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact BTP on 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016, quoting 497 of 14/10.
