Man rushed to RAH after glassing horror
A man was left drenched in blood after he was glassed by a thug in a Paisley boozer.
The 44-year-old victim was kicked in the chest and then struck with an empty tumbler in O’Connor’s Irish Bar in Paisley’s St James’ Street.
Detectives say they are hunting a tall bald man over the violent attack, which happened just before 9pm on Sunday.
Officers say the lout first kicked the victim before hurling the glass at his head.
The victim was left bleeding heavily from his wounds and was rushed to the Royal Alexandra Hospital for treatment.
The suspect is described as a white male, 6ft 2ins tall, bald with a dark beard, wearing a black sweatshirt with a green and white writing and black shorts.
Police are carrying out a review of CCTV footage and have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
Detective Inspector Bob Bowie told the Express: “If you were in the pub at the time of the incident then I would urge you to come forward and speak to police.
“The victim sustained a number of lacerations to his head and required hospital treatment.
“We are carrying out a number of enquiries in relation to the assault, including reviewing CCTV.”
Officers are also probing a serious assault within Davidson’s Bar in Renfrew’s Hairst Street on Sunday evening.
A 27- year- old man was hit by a flying glass and suffered a gash to his forehead when a rammy broke out between two groups.
The victim required stitches following the incident, which happened around 8.30pm.
Police say they are following a positive line of enquiry but urged anyone with information come forward.
DI Bowie added: “Again, if you were in the pub at the material time and witnessed what happened then we would like to hear from you.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 101, or Criimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
