TOURIST ATTACK IN PARK

A TOURIST on holiday in Scotland was assaulted after becoming involved in a row.

The 61-year-old man was treated in hospital following the attack in Strathclyde Country Park, Motherwell, on Thursday.

Police said he was walking in the park and taking photographs before being assaulted opposite the Alona Hotel at about 7.30pm. Members of the public went to his aid.

Officers yesterday appealed for witnesses to come forward.

The suspect is white, 5ft 9in, stocky and has dark brown hair. Police say he may have been socialising with a group of people in the park before the assault took place.
