Police appeal after report man took photo up woman’s skirt on train to Kirkcaldy

It happened on Thursday, January 19 around 5:10pm.

A female passenger boarded the train at Edinburgh Gateway station where she sat in the middle of the carriage at a table seat. About ten minutes into the journey, the train stopped at Inverkeithing and a man boarded and sat diagonally across from her.

The woman looked under the table and saw that the male was crouched down holding his phone under the table with the camera app open.

The man is described as white, early 50s, puffy face, medium build, short light brown spiky messy hair with a little ginger in it and fair stubble.

He was wearing a white shirt that had a pale chequered pattern on it and he had a bag on the seat next to him which was possibly brown and a silver laptop that was open on the table in front of him.
