Detective Constable Aislinn MacLeod from Clydebank CID said: “This was a completely random attack, and I am appealing for anyone who was in the area of Kilbowie Road on Tuesday afternoon and saw what happened, or the suspect making off, to please get in touch.

“In particular, I would like to speak to the driver of a white Mercedes who is believed to have witnessed the incident, and would urge them to come forward.

“I would also ask any motorists with dash-cams to check their footage in case there is anything which could be of significance.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland through 101, quoting incident number 2456 of Tuesday, 5 October, 2021. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
