A 51-year-old man has been taken to hospital after a serious assault in Helensburgh last night.

Officers were called to a report of an injured man on Camis Eskan Wynd around 6.50pm - he was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital for treatment.

He is believed to have been attacked by another man with a bladed weapon in the Cardross Road area shortly beforehand.

The suspect is described as white, mid 20s, around 6ft tall and of slim build.

He may have been travelling in a small dark coloured SUV type vehicle.

Detective Sergeant Vicky Shanley at Clydebank CID, said: “This appears to have been an unprovoked attack on the victim and it’s vital we trace the person responsible.

“I’d ask for anyone who saw what happened, has any information about the incident, or who recognises the description of the suspect, to come forward.

“If you have dashcam, doorbell or private CCTV footage from the Cardross Road area around the time, please review this and bring anything of significance to our attention.”

Anyone with information is urged to call Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 2754 of 2 March. Alternatively, information can be passed to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
