An investigation has been launched after a woman was sexually assaulted near a city landmark.
The 20-year-old's attacker lured her to the location with a bogus modelling shoot.
The 20-year-old woman is understood to have arranged to meet a man she believed to be a photographer at a rendezvous point in Glasgow's West End.
Sources said the pair are believed to have met online.
They arranged to meet near Kelvingrove Art Gallery for a 'modelling session' yesterday.
However, the attacker battered the young woman before sexually assaulting in a lane her near to Kelvin Way.
A manhunt is now underway to find the culprit behind the attack.
It happened at around 8pm yesterday and police have urged any witnesses to come forward.
The sex attacker is thought to have convinced the victim into a secluded spot, where he carried out the assault.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Police inquiries are continuing after a 20-year-old woman was sexually assaulted at the rear of Kelvingrove Art Gallery around 8pm on Monday November 23."
"Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact officers on 101."
The park at the rear of Kelvingrove Art Gallery is popular with dog walkers and joggers and police are hopeful someone may have witnessed the incident.
A large cordon was in place around the wooded area today and uniformed officers stood guard at the lane.
Detectives were at the scene carrying out investigations early this morning.
A police van was also parked nearby.
There is currently no description of the suspect available.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.
