A MAN has died after being found with serious injuries in a common close in Inverclyde, police have confirmed.
Emergency services rushed to Brookfield Road in Port Glasgow late on Saturday night and sealed off the street, with a cordon remaining in place today.
Police Scotland told the Telegraph today that a 27-year-old man had succumbed to his injuries and an investigation is now underway. Police believe the man died under suspicious circumstances.
Police Scotland Detective Chief Inspector Ally Semple, Major Investigation Teams (West) said: “At this time, we believe that the attack on the man was targeted.
“Officers have been carrying out enquiries in the area, checking CCTV and speaking to local residents but we’d still like to hear from anyone with information who has not yet come forward.
“We’d be keen to view any doorbell/private CCTV or dashcam footage from the area and between 8.30pm and 9.15pm on Sunday, just in case footage has been caught that would identify any suspects.
"There will be an increased police presence in the area as our enquiries continue."
Police Scotland can be contacted via 101, quoting reference number 3680 of Saturday, 27 April 2024. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where you can give your information anonymously.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
