Police appeal in rape probe

POLICE investigating the rape of a woman in a vehicle opposite Dundee railway station are keen to trace a dog walker who came to her aid.

The 19-year-old was sexually assaulted in the early hours of Friday before fleeing the vehicle parked on Yeaman Shore in the city centre.

A man walking a dog went to help her, and police are now appealing for him and any other witnesses to come forward.

The attacker has not yet been arrested, officers confirmed, and no description has been released.

Detective Inspector Sarah Brow said: ‘This has been a terrifying attack on the woman, and she is currently receiving support from our officers.

‘We are keen to speak to the man who was walking his dog who helped her, and anyone else who was in the area at the time as any piece of information, no matter how small, can help.

‘We have extra evening patrols in the area, and anyone with any concerns should get in touch.’

Witnesses or people with information are asked to contact police on 101.
