Detective Constable Jack Brown at Paisley CID said: “This was a very brutal attack which left the victim with severe injuries and despite numerous enquiries we have yet to identify the person or persons responsible.

“We know that the club was busy at this time and therefore it is highly likely that someone witnessed this incident or could help identify the culprit/culprits.

“It is vital that we speak to those who were within the club that night and appeal for them to contact police as soon as possible.”
