A MAN attacked a nine-year-old girl with a Buckfast bottle as she walked home from the shops, making her think she was going to die.
Martin Hackett, 26, grabbed the schoolgirl by the hair from behind on Craigton Road, Glasgow, before repeatedly hitting her with the weapon in broad daylight.
When passers-by heard the youngster screaming and went to her aid, Hackett ran off to his home just minutes away from the scene.
