A 31-year-old woman was walking along Inchinnan Road toward the Swing Bridge in Renfrew when a man approached her and spoke to her.
Moments later, he pulled at her jacket. The woman managed to get away and ran over the Swing Bridge to seek help from a friend. She was not injured in the attack but has been left extremely upset by the event around 5.30pm on Thursday 30th June 2016.
