WORKMEN were forced to defend themselves using their tools when they were confronted by a gang carrying glass bottles.
The incident took place in Tillicoultry’s High Street at around 10am on Monday.
An onlooker said, “It happened up at the old library. Guys started kicking off at the workers, making threats with glass bottles. One of the workers defended himself with a spade.” A few minutes later two police cars and a police van arrived and four men were arrested.
They were due to appear at Alloa Sheriff Court yesterday (Tuesday) charged with breach of the peace.
