An investigation has been launched by British Transport Police in Paisley after a woman allegedly saw a man behaving indecently on board a train heading to Glasgow.

The incident is said to have taken place on the Gourock to Glasgow service as it left Paisley Gilmour Street at around 7am on Wednesday, October 17. 

A man aged between 55 and 70 made prolonged eye contact with a 28-year-old woman before beginning to touch himself inappropriately, as the train left.

It is believed the suspect left the train at the next stop.

The man is described as white and of skinny build, with thin white hair. He was wearing a flat cap, blue jeans, a black waterproof jacket and was carrying a black backpack.

Officers would like to speak to anyone who was on board the service and may have witnessed the incident, in particular a female passenger in the same carriage and two other males.
