Police are appealing for information about the incident and are keen to trace the three men who shouted at the attackers.

Detective Sergeant Euan Keil said: “The woman was making her way to the toilets when she was grabbed by one man and pulled to the rear of the toilet block where another man sexually assaulted her.

“Her attackers fled when they were disturbed by three men who were walking by the area and who shouted at them.

“I don’t think the three men realised what was actually going on or that their intervention probably stopped this attack from escalating.

“It is important that we trace them as what they saw could prove vital to us catching the two men responsible.”

TRNSMT 2019 is a Scottish rock and indie music festival that takes place on Glasgow Green.

This summer’s lineup includes Stormzy, George Ezra, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Lewis Capaldi.

Anyone with information relating to the assault is asked to contact Stewart Street CID via 101 quoting incident 1094 of the 12 July 2019 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
