Detectives have launched an investigation after three people were assaulted in Clydebank.

A 43-year-old woman and a 45-year-old woman were walking through the underpass towards Kilbowie Road in Clydebank.

As they reached Kilbowie Road, they were assaulted by a group of three men.

A man, aged 44, who was crossing the road at the time, was also assaulted by this group of males.

Emergency services attended and the injured people were taken to hospital.

Officers are appealing for information in identifying the attackers.

One is described as white, aged between 15 and 20 years old, blonde hair, with a slim build. He was wearing a long-length rain jacket with a fur trimmed hood and tracksuit trousers.

A further suspect is described as white, aged between 15 and 20 years old, dark hair wearing a light grey hoody, dark tracksuit bottoms and carrying a black rucksack.

One male, aged 15, has been arrested and charged in connection with this incident, however, enquiries are ongoing.

Officers continue to review CCTV footage from in and around the area for any additional information on the suspects.

Detective Constable Craig McGarry said: “These attacks have been completely unprovoked and it’s imperative we trace whoever is responsible.

"I am appealing to motorists and taxi drivers with dash cams, who were in Kilbowie Road in the early hours of this morning, to check their footage, they may have unknowingly captured images which would assist our investigation.

"If anyone has any information on this crime or the suspects, please get in touch.”
