POLICE are hunting down two men after a woman was indecently assaulted at a park in broad daylight.
Police in Dunfermline are appealing for witnesses after a one of the men approached the 24-year-old victim in Pittencrieff Park and indecently assaulted her.
The incident happened on Sunday, April 30 around 1.10pm.
The man is described as dark-skinned, in his late 20’s or early 30’s, with dark hair and with a black beard.

He is thought to have been with another male who was also in his late 20’s or early 30’s, slim built, dark-skinned and bald.
The second man was wearing work trousers and a green hooded top.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
