A TEENAGER has been charged with attempted murder following an attack on at the TRNSMT music festival.
Previous reports said that Lee Paton, from Patna in Ayrshire, had suffered serious injuries after an incident at Glasgow Green on Saturday, July 13.
The 16-year-old was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment, where he was left fighting for his life.
Police had initially put out an appeal to track down two individuals as part of investigations, with initial enquiries relating to a serious assault.
Officers have now arrested and charged an 18-year-old with attempted murder. He is due to appear before Glasgow Sheriff Court on Thursday.
A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
Detective Inspector Willie Downie said: “We would like to thank members of the public and partners who assisted with our investigation.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
