Police are looking for help as they try to find an attacker who’s left a woman with severe facial injuries.

The victim boarded a bus in the Perth area last Thursday after the callous assault, travelling on a service from Bridgend, to Scone between 5pm and 7.20pm.

She was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee where she received treatment.

Constable Daniel Coombs said: “Extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of how the woman came to be injured and we are looking for any potential witnesses who could assist with our investigation.”

“At this stage it is unclear which service the victim got on after she was assaulted and we are appealing to anyone who saw a woman with significant and very visible facial injuries on board a bus in the area on Thursday evening to please come forward.”

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting Crime Reference Number: 0086479/24.”
