POLICE want to trace an 'elderly' man in connection with an assault on a 15-year-old boy in Greenock more than eight months ago.
A CCTV image from the incident, at Kilblain Street bus terminus, was released this morning as part of an appeal for information.
The assault took place between 9.30pm and 9.50pm on January 6.
In a statement released today, Police Scotland said: "Officers believe that the man shown in the image may be able to assist them with their investigations and would appeal to any members of the public that recognise him to contact them.
"The man is described as elderly, around 5'8 in height, of stocky build and he spoke with a local accent.
"Anyone who knows who this man is, or has any information regarding the incident is asked to contact PC Elliott at Greenock Police Office via 101, quoting incident number 3427 of Saturday 6 January 2018.
"Alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously."
