Police launch appeal following violent Bellsmyre assault

Police have launched an appeal after a 23-year-old man was assaulted in Dumbarton last night (June 28).

At around 11.45pm the victim was on Stirling Road at its junction with Bellsmyre Avenue in Dumbarton when he was approached by three men and assaulted.

The man was rushed to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley where medical staff describe his condition as stable.

There is limited information on the three men – but they are believed to be aged between 18 and 25 years of age.

Following the incident, the three men made off towards Dumbarton town centre.

Officers are checking relevant CCTV footage for any additional information on the suspects or the incident.

Detective Constable Geoff McKillop said: “The motive for this attack is unknown and a young man has been injured.

“I am appealing to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident to contact us. In particular, any motorists with dash cam devices, I would ask them to check their cameras and they may have captured an image which could assist our investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 0045 of 28 June 2021. Alternatively, please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
