Appeal after man assaulted on Braes Avenue, Clydebank

Police in Clydebank are appealing for witnesses after a man was the victim of a serious assault which happened on Tuesday, 7 December, 2021.

The 32-year-old victim was walking on Braes Avenue towards Brown Avenue at around 10pm when he was approached from behind by the suspect who assaulted him.

The victim suffered serious injuries to his head and torso, which required hospital treatment.

Officers have conducted door-to-door enquiries and are asking anyone who saw what happened, or has information that can help police enquiries, to come forward.

The suspect is described as male, ages in his twenties or thirties, around 6ft 2ins tall of slim build with short dark hair. His clothing is unknown. He is believed to have left the scene on foot after the assault.

Detective Constable Paul Lyons from Clydebank CID said: “This incident happened in a very residential area, and, although we appreciate the time of night meaning it was dark, we are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed what happened, or who may have seen the victim or suspect immediately prior to, or after, the assault.

“Anyone with private or doorbell camera systems that we haven’t yet spoken to in the Braes Avenue area should check their systems and provide any relevant footage to us. Also any drivers recording with dash-cam are asked to check their systems to see if the incident was captured.”

Those with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 and quote incident number 3557 of 7 December 2021.
