Police in Dundee have launched a major manhunt after two men sexually assaulted a woman in a secluded lane in the city centre at the weekend.
The 20-year-old woman was confronted by the men in Pullar’s Close, off Meadowside, shortly after midnight into Sunday morning and assaulted.
The two men then walked casually away down the lane into Murraygate leaving their victim “extremely distressed” by the attack.
The woman then joined up with friends nearby and contacted police, who were quickly at the scene and cordoned off the pend.
A spokesman said: “Police are carrying out inquiries after a 20-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in the city centre at the weekend.
“The woman had been in Pullar’s Close a short distance in to the Meadowside entrance to the lane that runs to Murraygate shortly after midnight into Sunday when she was approached by two men who sexually assaulted her.
“They then walked away towards Murraygate leaving her extremely distressed. Inquiries are now ongoing to establish the identity of the two men.
“This includes door-to-door inquiries in the city centre area and a review of public and private CCTV, as well as any stills and footage from Dundee nightclubs.
“Both men are said to be in their early twenties. One was about 5ft 9in tall, of medium build and wore jeans.
“The other was about 6ft tall, of medium build and spoke with a Dundee accent.
“He had short brown or black spiky hair, with a slight fringe and at the time was wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt with thin white or grey horizontal lines on it, as well as dark jeans.
“Anyone who knows who these men are, or who has information that could assist Tayside Division’s inquiries, should call 101 or speak to any officer.”
