Police are appealing for witnesses after a man suffered a number of serious injuries in a stabbing attack in Dumbarton.
The 29-year-old was being treated for a number of stab wounds in the arms and chest after an incident on a dirt track near the gas works off Castlegreen Street in Dumbarton at about 10.20pm on Saturday, April 17.
The victim is in a serious condition at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, but his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
DC Aislinn MacLeod of Clydebank Police Station said: “Our inquiries into this incident are ongoing and anyone with information is asked to come forward.
“If you were in the area and saw or heard something suspicious then please get in touch. Similarly if you were driving in the area and may have dashcam footage then please review this and come forward if you believe you can help our investigation.”
Police particularly want to identify two men, both aged around 17 to 20-years-old thought to be involved in the attack.
One is described as being around 5ft 9in tall and of slim build, wearing dark trainers, dark jogging bottoms and a dark top – either a hoodie or jacket – with the hood up.
The second man is described as being 5ft 5in tall and of medium build. He was wearing dark trainers, jogging bottoms and a grey jacket, made of a synthetic, shiny material, with the hood up.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
