THREE teenagers have been arrested in connection with an alleged murder bid in Linwood.

Emergency services were called to a disturbance in Blackwood Avenue at around 3.20pm on Friday.

On arrival, a 35-year-old man was discovered with serious injuries and three suspects – aged 15, 16 and 17 – were later traced by police and taken into custody.

The injured man was rushed by ambulance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital, in Paisley, where he is receiving treatment for wounds on his head and upper body.

A police spokesperson said the three suspects were due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court today.
