Police are continuing enquiries and appealing for information after a man was seriously assaulted in the Seedhill area of the town on Saturday.

Around 6.30pm, a 22 year-old man was walking in Ladyburn Street with his daughter, when he was approached by a man from behind who stabbed him.

Emergency services attended the scene and the 22 year-old man was taken by ambulance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital where he was treated and released the next day.

His daughter was uninjured.

The suspect is described as white, 5ft 7” in height and of slim build with untidy short dark curly hair. He was wearing a navy blue top and tracksuit trousers.

He was of gaunt appearance and had a plaster on his face just under his left eye.

Detective Constable Elaine Malcolm of Paisley Police Office said today: “This was a totally unprovoked and violent attack on this man as he was making his way home from a day out with his daughter.

“I would urge anyone who witnessed this incident take place, or who recognises the description of the suspect to contact Police Scotland on 101.

“Alternatively CRIMESTOPPERS can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
