Efforts to track down and arrest an attacker are still ongoing after a 63-year-old man was stabbed at a footpath on Sauchie’s Holton Crescent.

It took place on Tuesday at around 7.05pm, and the victim was taken Forth Valley Royal Hospital with serious injuries.

The following day, Police Scotland released a physical description of a man they would like to speak to regarding what they believe is a targeted attack.

He is said to be "white, aged 35 to 45, around 6ft tall, and of medium build with a red or auburn beard."

At the time, he was wearing a dark blue hooded jumper, dark trousers, and white trainers. It is believed he left the scene in a dark SUV style vehicle with a light-coloured roof box.

The force said that it is following a positive line of enquiry, said that patrols will be increased in the area.

Those with any information are urged to get in touch on 101, quoting reference 2726 of February 10.
