A takeaway driver was threatened with a taser, assaulted then chased by a man who smashed his car windows while his partner and toddler were inside.
The 29-year-old was walking in Cochranemill Road, Johnstone when he was approached by the man who demanded his car keys and money just after midnight last night.
The victim managed to make it back to his Nissan Mirca which had his partner and their three year-old daughter inside – however the thug ran after the car and broke the passenger side windows before it drove off onto Beith Road.
