Cops probe armed trio’s early-morning slash attack Victim rushed to Royal Alexandra Hospital

A man was slashed and cut about the head when three armed thugs burst into a house and launched a violent early- morning attack.

The 34-year-old victim was rushed to the Royal Alexandra Hospital, in Paisley, after he was knifed by two men and a woman in the horror incident.

Detectives say the violent gang turned up at a property in Tannahill Road, in the Ferguslie Park area of the town, around 6.10am on Sunday morning.

They then launched a vicious assault using weapons, and left the man with serious injuries to his scalp

Police are treating the incident as a serious assault and are carrying out house-to-house enquiries and reviewing CCTV footage.

It is believed the attackers fled the scene in a grey vehicle, possibly a van, which officers are now keen to trace.

Detective Inspector Ross MacDonald, from Paisley CID, has appealed to Express readers for help in snaring the suspects.

He said: “A 34-year-old man was seriously assaulted within an address in Paisley’s Tannahill Road.
