Police have launched an appeal for information after a woman was assaulted in a north-east town.
The woman, in her 30s, was attacked in the Murray Street area of Elgin at around 9.30pm last night.
Officers are keen to trace a white male, aged in his 40s, of a slim build with a round face, and a bald or balding head.
He has been described as wearing a white T-shirt with a dark round pattern on the front, dark tracksuit bottoms and trainers, and was carrying a white carrier bag at the time.
Detective Inspector Norman Stevenson said: “The woman involved wasn’t injured, but she was shaken by what happened.
“Whilst we are at an early stage of the investigation, I would like to reassure the Elgin community that we are treating this as an isolated incident.
“I am appealing to anyone who thinks they might have information about the incident in question to contact officers on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if you would prefer to remain anonymous.
“In particular I would appeal for anyone who knows of or has seen a male matching the description provided to get in touch.”
