A MAN was attacked with a glass bottle on a Glasgow train.
The service was travelling from Glasgow Central to Ayr on Saturday night when the incident occurred.
The train was forced to stop at Johnstone station while emergency services were called to the scene.
The man was treated for minor injuries but he did not need to go to hospital.
Transport police are now investigating the incident and are urging anyone who witnessed it to get in touch.
A British Transport Police spokesperson said: "Officers were called to Johnstone railway station at 9.45pm on August 5 following reports of a disturbance.
"One man was assaulted and treated at the scene for minor injuries, however, he did not need hospital treatment.
"Enquiries into the incident are ongoing and any witnesses who haven’t already spoken to police can contact BTP by texting 61016 quoting ref 688 of 05/08/23."
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!
