Police Scotland’s Sergeant Chris McKay said: “Our officers are currently trying to establish exactly what happened here and are going through CCTV footage.

“The girl had just gotten off a bus on Slaemuir Avenue before the incident happened and therefore there were lots of people in the area at the time.

“We are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed this incident, or who may have dashcam footage from this area of Port Glasgow to get in touch with us.”
