Teenage girl assaulted with her own shoe on train

Police are hunting a man who assaulted a teenage girl with her own shoe on a train.

The attack happened on a service between Partick and Glasgow Central on Wednesday April 26, at around 7.20pm.

The girl was among a group of three who are thought to have played a “prank” on the man by locking him out of one of the train’s coaches.

When he got into the carriage, he attacked one of the girls by kicking her before taking off one of her shoes and throwing it at her face, British Transport Police said.

The man is thought to be aged around 50, white, 5ft 10in and was wearing a suit and glasses.
