Man in a stable condition after he was stabbed in his Dumbarton home

An investigation is underway after a man was attacked in his home in Dumbarton on Friday 23 February 2018. Around 9pm a 34-year-old man was within his home in Bonhill Road, Dumbarton when a man entered and attacked him with a knife before running out of the flat.

The 34-year-old man was taken by ambulance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley where he is currently being treated for stab wounds. Hospital staff describe his condition as stable. The suspect is described as white, 6ft tall and was wearing a blue jumper.

Detective Inspector Scott Hamilton at Clydebank CID said: “Although we are trying to establish a motive for this violent attack we strongly believe that this was not random and that the 34-year-old man was the intended target. Never the less we will not tolerate such acts of violence and will endeavour to trace the person responsible. Officers are currently in the vicinity speaking to neighbours and local people in an attempt to gain further information and there will be additional high visibility patrols in the area who I would encourage local residents to speak to if they have any information or concerns.

“Anyone who has any information is asked to contact Clydebank CID immediately via 101 quoting incident number 4120 of 23 February 2018.”

Alternatively calls can be made to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained.
