British Transport Police are today appealing for information after a sexual assault on a train between Cowdenbeath and Edinburgh Waverley which took place between 12.40pm and 1.40pm on Saturday 13 July.
A man is reported to have sat next to a woman, aged in her 20s, when the train arrived at Dunfermline Town station. He spoke to her then put his hand on her leg and touched her inappropriately. He left after being challenged by the victim and exited the train at Haymarket.
The man is described as Asian, aged in his late 30s, with a dark moustache and eyebrows. He was of medium build and was wearing neutral coloured clothing and a red cap.
Officers would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the offence or knows the identity of the man. They would especially like to gain the witness account of a man who was sat across a table from the woman when the offence happened. Please contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 and quoting reference 481 of 14/07/19.
