A WOMAN has been left blinded in one eye from a laser pen attack in Clydebank, report police.

Officers are appealing for witnesses to the “senseless” assault by two teenagers and vowed to catch the pair “as soon as possible”.

The 33-year-old victim was walking under the railway bridge on Dumbarton Road near the junction with Cable Depot Road around 10pm on Saturday, September 10.

She was approached by the youths and one shone the laser into her eye.

Detectives said she went to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment and then reported the incident to police.

The first suspect is described as white, 14-15 years of age with brown hair styled in a quiff. He was wearing dark-coloured sportswear. The second suspect is described as white, around 14-15 years of age and wearing dark-coloured sportswear.

Detective Sergeant Kevin Mulvenna based as Clydebank Police Office said: “This was a completely unprovoked and senseless attack on this woman, which has left her blind in one eye. The youths responsible must be caught as soon as possible.

“To point a laser pen at someone is highly irresponsible. Extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace the two boys, with officers carrying out enquiries in the local area and studying CCTV footage to identify them.”

Anyone with information to help with the police investigation is asked to contact Clydebank Police Office through 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
