Police have revisited the scene where a teenage girl was assaulted in woodland one week on from the attack.

A hooded man grabbed the 15-year-old’s arm as she was walking along the footpath between Dunbar Court and the Leslie Viaduct in Glenrothes, Fife, around 7:20pm on Monday 16 July. She managed to break free and ran away.

Police revisited the scene as they continue their investiga- tions to trace the suspect who is described as white, aged between 18 and 40, 5ft 11in tall and of slim build with stubble. He spoke with a local accent in a deep voice. He was wearing a black hooded zip-up top with the hood up, black tracksuit bottoms and black trainers with white soles.

Detective Inspector Paul Dick of Kirkcaldy CID said: “This was a frightenin­g experience for the girl and our enquiries continue to establish the full circumstan­ces surroundin­g this incident.”
