A 61-year-old woman has been assaulted by a man in the back garden of her home.

The woman was pushed against a wall by one of four men who entered her garden in Grangemouth, Falkirk, on Monday.

The incident happened at around 9.30am in Strowan Square.

Constable Alexander Clarke said: "The victim suffered some minor injuries as a result of this incident and was left very shaken.

"We are keen to trace the suspect and the group of men he was with and would ask anyone who can help to identify them to come forward.

"Anyone who remembers seeing anything suspicious in Strowan Square on Monday morning, or who has information relevant to this inquiry, should get in touch."

The man is described as white, in his mid 20s and around 5ft 10in. He was wearing a grey zipped jacket and jeans.

Police said the suspect had a distinctive grey hairstyle in a long ponytail with green colouring throughout.
