"The man then left in a taxi believed to be a white Skoda Octavia. This incident has not been reported to police and inquiries are being carried out to establish more details on this and to trace the victim and driver of the private hire taxi, although I would ask them to come forward to police.
"Police are continuing to study CCTV in the local area, and I would urge anyone with information that may help police inquiries, or who may recognise the description of the two suspects, to contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
