Blind man bottled in the street

by Lorraine Tinney

CALLOUS yobs smashed a bottle over a blind man’s head during a lunchtime attack.

The 49-year-old, who was wearing dark glasses and carrying a white stick, had just got off a bus in Greenock town centre when he was hit from behind.

He was assaulted on the corner of West Stewart and Argyle Street around 1.30pm.

A passing good Samaritan then helped him to his feet.

Distraught from the attack, the victim went into a nearby pub for a drink before suddenly bursting into tears.

The barman at the Hole in the Wa’ pub told the Telegraph: “This man is blind — what’s this town coming to?

“He was holding a napkin on his head when he came in then he burst out crying.

“I told him he should report it to the police — then when they arrived he broke down again.

“He was crying for at least five minutes. He had a cut to his head.”

Police are examining CCTV footage and are appealing for the woman who came to the disabled man’s aid to come forward.

Anyone with information should contact Greenock police on 492500 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

I'm sure that if they do get caught, the brilliant justice system in place will send out the right message...

Terrible stuff.
 
mother f......, thats just ruined my day :(

thats terrible, i hope they get ill and someone takes advantage of them.
 
what the hell is the point


"oh look at me im a tough guy, i beat up a blind man"



christ sake why cant we hunt these people like the vermin they are
 
Either this stuff is happening a lot more or I'm becoming a lot more aware of it - but surely the amount of similar crap that goes on, needs to come to a stop/slant.

I know there'll always be the scum of the humans about and people who do this sort of thing - but discouraging this sort of behaviour is the very least that could be done - yet it doesn't seem to be happening.

Destined to be another slap on the wrist job, if they are caught.

Sad but true. That has got to change, else I can foresee an increase in the number of people taking the law into their own hands.

These ***** should forego any kind of protection by the state when they commit acts like this and should just be thrown to the wolves ... literally and metaphorically :mad:
 
why? what did they achieve from this....yea these lads are real tight, they can beat up a blind man
 
I’m glad this has happened, it seem people take it more seriously when a disabled person or a woman gets attacked. It happening to ANYBODY is a terrible thing and should be dealt with, at lest the media are now showing this ****, should hopefully make the politicians act


Personally I just live in hope that it happens to some high officials in government , otherwise those pompous gits don’t care.

I think the justice system in Scotland will dish out a decent sentence. It's different from Englands.

This doesn't surprise me that much though. Greenock is a scary place.
