Police have appealed for a two people who helped a man who had been sexually assaulted in a taxi to come forward.

The incident happened in a taxi travelling between Glasgow and Paisley in the early hours of Sunday, October 28.

The 22- year- old victim had been out for the night in Glasgow around the Argyle Street/Union Street area.

At around 2.30am, he got into a white private hire taxi to take him home but on route, he was touched inappropri­ately by the driver who then made him get out of the car in Paisley.

Not knowing where he was, the man flagged down a couple in a car who took him to Paisley police office.

The taxi was white and the driver is described as being a white male aged in his 30s with dark shaved hair, a heavy build and with a Scottish or Irish accent.

Detective Sergeant Allison Campbell, of Paisley police office, said she was keen to speak to the couple who helped the victim as soon as possible.

She said: “The man and woman left before we could speak to them.

“It would be really helpful to our investigat­ion if they would contact Paisley police station as their informatio­n would assist our investigat­ion.

“I would ask anyone who might have seen or was approached by the man in Paisley on Sunday morning to get in touch.

“Call Paisley police station via 101 and quote reference number 1271/28/10.”
