A shopkeeper working in a convenience store opposite the scene said the victim remained conscious while waiting on medics to arrive.

He said: "The guy was covered in blood but he was drinking from a bottle and still talking away while waiting on the ambulance. It did take quite a long time to arrive though."

Police Scotland were unable to comment when approached by the Record.
