At around 6pm on 2 March, a member of the public was assaulted by a group of unknown people on Sandwich Road, St Andrews.

The victim, who is autistic and has the mental age of a 6-year-old, sustained moderate injuries and is understandably very shaken by this incident.

Police investigating the violent death of a young man in Hamilton believe motorists or pedestrians may have evidence that is crucial to the investigation.

The 20-year-old victim died in hospital shortly after being critically injured during a fight on Alexandra Street about 12.10am on Sunday. Three other people were treated for moderate-to-serious injuries.

The deceased was celebrating his upcoming birthday when a fight occurred with another group of people, Detective Inspector Daryl Smith said.

“We are speaking to a number of witnesses and people involved in the altercation and are making a number of enquiries to locate the offender and the weapon or weapons that were used.

“At the time, Alexandra Street was busy with cars and pedestrians. We think it’s highly likely that critical information was recorded on dashcam or cell phones.

“We’re appealing to anyone who was in the area around midnight, if you saw this fight, if you filmed it, or if you have dashcam footage, we need to hear from you as soon as possible.”

Police have created a dedicated web portal where people can upload photos or footage that was taken between 11.30pm on Saturday 19 July to 12.30am on Sunday morning on Alexandra Street and the surrounding areas.

The three other victims have since been discharged from hospital and a forensic examination of the street was completed on Sunday afternoon.

“There is still a lot of work ahead of us to understand the full circumstances of what occurred, but the investigation team is committed to piecing the many fragments together.”
