Nick told the Evening Express: “As we were walking back two guys came past us, two guys in their 20s, something was said, I’ve no idea what, we carried on walking and the next thing one of the guys hit me – I didn’t see it coming.

He added: “I was on the deck. I was out. I think I hit my head and passed-out for a
few seconds.

“My good looks may have been slightly dented. It didn’t break my nose. It’s just a
very deep cut.

“The first responder police and ambulance service and the guys at the
hospital were excellent.”

“To be honest I wouldn’t do it again walking home at 1am or 2am.”

Investigating officer Pc Alan Gordon has said that police believe two men wearing black jackets and jeans may be able to help with enquiries.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 169 of 22 December.
