Murder bid probe as man mowed down by car in deliberate attack on Scots street

A 57-year-old man has been rushed to hospital with serious injuries after a late night murder bid in Coatbridge.

Around 11pm on Sunday a dark coloured saloon car was deliberately driven at the man in Doune Terrace, near to the roundabout at its junction with Lomond Road.

The man sustained serious leg and back injuries during the attack and was rushed to Monklands Hospital.

His current condition is described as stable.

It is believed there were two or three men in the car which drove off in the direction of Lomond Road.

Cops have launched a major probe into the attempted murder and are urging anyone with information or dash-cam footage to get in touch.

Detective Inspector Gordon Sneddon, of Coatbridge CID, said: “This was a deliberate act that has caused serious injuries to a man who happened to be in the street at the time.

“We are asking anyone in the area at the time and may have dash-cam footage of the incident, or of the car involved, to get in touch.

"Anyone else that has information that could help with our investigation is also asked to call us.

“If you can help please contact us via 101, quoting incident number 3644 of Sunday, 23 January, 2022, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
