Man tries to abduct woman at crossing

Police are investigating after a man tried to force a woman towards a parked car in an attempted abduction.

The 21-year-old victim had walked along Newton Street and Charing Cross towards St Georges Road in Glasgow and was waiting at the pedestrian crossing next to the M8 when the man came up to her at around 5:30pm on Tuesday.

He stopped her from walking away and threatened her, making some threats with a sexual nature, before trying to direct her towards a nearby parked car.
