Police say that there was a dark-coloured saloon car in the area at the time and are looking to speak to the driver or its occupants.

“A dark-coloured saloon car was seen at the time of the incident which left in the direction of Inchinnan Road and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen it or its occupants.
“In addition, anyone with dash-cam or private CCTV footage that could assist with our investigation is asked to get in touch.”
