Three more teenagers have been arrested over the attempted murder of a man in Paisley.

The 39-year-old sustained head injuries when he was attacked while walking in Forbes Place in the Renfrewshire town at 8.25pm on Saturday.

Two girls, aged 15 and 16, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court on Tuesday charged with attempted murder and assault to severe injury, permanent disfigurement and danger of life.
