A man has been left with life-changing injuries after falling victim to a ‘sustained attack’ in a Scots town.
The 53-year-old was assaulted on Castlehill Road in
Forreson Saturday, January 2, but did not report the incident to police straight away.
The victim later went to hospital for treatment on leg wounds which were found to be more serious than first suspected.
Officers are appealing for witnesses to the attack, which took place between 11am and 1pm, and say the victim would have had ‘visible injuries’ to passersby.
Police constable Jamie Barclay, said: “Although this incident happened several weeks ago, it has only just been brought to the attention of the police.
“No matter the time span, we will always investigate.
“The man who sustained this attack has been left with significant life changing injuries and therefore it is vital we find the person responsible.
“Anyone who was in the area, and who may remember seeing or hearing anything, no matter how insignificant it may have seemed at the time, is urged to come forward.
“It is believed that the man walked from Green Road to High Street shortly after being assaulted and would have had visible injuries – do you remember seeing him?
“If you have dash-cam footage or personal security cameras that may have captured anything, we would also ask you to check and give this to the police.
”Anyone with any information should contact police via 101, quoting incident number 1053 of Thursday 28 January 2021.
“Alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given in confidence.”
