Detectives are appealing for information after a teenager was assaulted during an attempted robbery at a Renfrewshire railway station.

An investigation has been taking place into the incident, which took place at Paisley Canal station on Friday, July 9.

Now officers are hoping witnesses will come forward to help them track down the three thugs responsible.

The victim had boarded the 9.24pm service from Crookston to Paisley Canal when he was approached by three young men with bikes.

After getting off the train at its destination, the trio followed him to the station's exit.

Two of them then demanded money and put him in a headlock. Once they realised he had no money, they fled.

Anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or call 0800 405040, quoting reference 334 of July 11.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
