Park attack pair sought

“It’s a miracle that neither of them was killed.”

Police appealed for witnesses. Detective Constable Jennifer Thirtle, of Cambuslang Police Station, said: “Our inquiries into this incident are ongoing and we would urge anyone who may have seen or heard a disturbance around 9pm on Tuesday to get in touch. “In addition we would be keen to speak to anyone who may have seen anybody acting suspiciously or loitering in the area around Greenhill Road before the incident took place.” In 2009, Quinn was jailed for eight years at the High Court in Glasgow for the attempted murder of Gary Walker, 33, in a gang knife attack.

POLICE have launched a probe after a gang of about 15 males attacked four people in a park.

Officers say the incident, which left one victim requiring surgery for a facial injury, happened at about 10pm on Saturday near the South Inch Pavilion in Perth.

A police spokesman said: “A group of four people – two men and two women – were allegedly assaulted by members of a group of about 15 males on the South Inch.

“The large group had been congregating near the tunnels, then verbally abused the victims as they walked past before following them and attacking them.

“Although there was a large group involved, two in particular were identified as being responsible.

“The first is described as white, 6ft 2in with straight black hair and wearing a light blue Stone Island jumper at the time. The second is described as white, about 6ft, bald with a noticeably round face, wearing a hooded top. If you have any information, please call 101 or speak to any police officer.”
