A manhunt has been launched for a “despicable” attacker after a young woman was grabbed and sexually assaulted as she walked home from a night out in Dundee.
The 17-year-old victim was approached by three men on Dens Road, near its junction with Laing Street, at around 3.10am on Sunday.
Police Scotland said one of the men grabbed her and committed sexual assault before fleeing north, in the opposite direction of downtown.
The alarm was raised after the teenager returned home.
Detective Inspector Graeme Wishart said: “This was an extremely distressing incident for the victim and it is vital that we trace the despicable person responsible.
“Extensive inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding this incident and we are appealing for anyone who may have information (that could) assist our investigation to come forward.”
The three men would be considered white.
The attacker was described as being aged between 19 and 23, around 1.70m tall and thin with muscular arms.
