AN asylum seeker who dragged a woman into bushes in Glasgow Green with intent to rape her has been jailed for four years.

Molon Baraka, 26, pounced on the 51-year-old in January, three months after arriving the UK from Sudan.

At the High Court in Glasgow judge Lord Matthews told him: "This is the stuff of nightmares. A woman was dragged into a secluded area in the dark thinking she was going to be raped."
