Scottish Police say they are studying CCTV pictures to investigate a sexual assault on a 4-year-old boy in a supermarket.

The attack apparently happened in the toilets of an Asda store in Clydebank while the mother of the boy was waiting for him outside.

The incident happened at 1.55pm on Tuesday afternoon.

Extra police have been put on duty in the area to reassure the public.

Police say they also have a number of officers working on the inquiry.

Detective Inspector Graham Cordner is from Strathclyde Police.

He says they have a rough description of a man they want to speak to.
