Paisley Police are appealing for information after an attempted robbery in Paisley.
A 57-year-old man, wearing a blue beanie hat, was walking along the left hand footpath on Ferguslie, Paisley, when he was approached by another man around 7.55am on Saturday 15th January 2017.
The man threatened the victim with a knife and demanded he hand over his money and possessions.
The victim refused and the suspect ran off in the direction of Abbey Nursey and Millarston Park.
The man is described as around 6ft tall, of slim build, and wearing dark blue clothing, including a Nike hoodie. He was also wearing a blue beanie hat with white stripes at the bottom which was pulled down over his face with home-made cuts at the eyes. He spoke with a local accent.
Detective Constable Aileen Cunningham from Paisley CID said: “I would like to speak to anyone who was in the Ferguslie area this morning and saw anyone acting suspiciously.
“In particular, I would like to trace the male driver of an old silver style polo which was seen driving in the area heading towards Paisley around the time of the incident. We believe the driver may have witnessed what happened so I would ask him to get in touch.
“Anyone with information can contact officers at Paisley CID via 101 or alternatively you can call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence.”
