Detectives are appealing for witnesses following a serious assault on a Paisley dog walker.
The incident happened on Sunday evening when the 44-year-old victim was attacked on Ferguslie Walk.
Police believe it may be linked to another incident shortly before when a man and a woman were involved in a disturbance.
Detective Sergeant Ross MacDonald said: "This was a despicable attack on an innocent man and we are working to establish the exact circumstances.
"Officers are currently examining CCTV footage and would appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch.
"In particular, I would like to speak to a cyclist wearing a yellow high-visibility vest, the driver of a light coloured car and another motorist in a dark coloured car who may have seen what happened.
"Anyone with information can contact police via the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively you can call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where anonymity will be maintained."
