A man in his 40s was walking with a friend along Crabwood Road, near the junction with Glencoyne Gardens, at around 9.45 p.m. last night (9 July), when they were approached by two men approaching from the direction of Wimpson Lane.
One of the men was shirtless, while the other was wearing a black T-shirt.
The shirtless man then punched the man in his forties, knocking him out and causing a laceration to his head.
Officers are requesting that anyone who witnessed this incident contact police.
