A woman was subjected to a "horrific" sexual assault after accepting a lift home from two men driving transit vans in Glasgow city centre.

'Horrific ordeal'

He added: "The victim was subjected to a horrific ordeal by these two men.

"She was subjected to a very serious assault which has left her very traumatised.

"It is absolutely vital we trace the two men involved."

After the attack the men drove off, leaving the woman in Scotland Street, where she walked to nearby premises to get help.

The man whose van the woman got into was described as white, aged 30-40, 6ft tall, of stocky build.

He was clean shaven and had short light brown hair in a spiky style.

He was wearing blue jeans and a dark T-shirt.
