Officers in white overalls and blue gloves were also gathering evidence at the scene.

A neighbour, who asked not to be named, told how the man was rushed out by paramedics.

He explained: “I saw them bringing him out on a stretcher. He didn't look in a good way.

“Police swarmed the street and started closing it down."

Two men are set to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court later today.
