A Scottish mum has stated that she is "absolutely raging" after her disabled son was attacked whilst waiting for a bus.
Kyle Stevenson, who has hearing and visual impairments and is on the autistic spectrum, was sprayed with a blue substance in Dumfries at around 8.45pm on Tuesday October 5.
As he was waiting for his bus near on Lochside Road, a car suddenly pulled over by the stop and doused him in the liquid, as reported by the Daily Record.

The teenager's mother, Michelle Lavery, has pleaded for any witnesses to step forward with information they might have that could help locate the attackers.
Police are also asking those who were around the area at the time of the incident, or who spotted a silver car on Lochside Road, at to get in touch.
Lavery said: “Kyle saw the bus coming but before it arrived a silver car came out of nowhere, pulled up to the bus stop and sprayed him.
“They drove away just before the bus arrived at the stop.
“He got in the house and he was very quiet.
“He told me what happened and I was absolutely raging.
“Kyle goes to the YMCA on a Monday and Tuesday every week and I try to get him out as much as possible and something like this can set him back.”
She added: “If anyone has dashcam footage from the time that would be good too.
“I’m really angry at this.
“I keep encouraging Kyle to go out but I’m also worried that as the dark nights approach these people might keep doing this thinking it’s a laugh.
“But for someone like my son it’s really not funny and it can have a big impact.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information about it is asked to contact police on 101.
