They are now looking for a claw hammer that may have been used in the attack. | |
Detectives said a witness saw the hammer at around 0900 GMT on the morning of the incident between parked cars on Gilestone Road, but it was gone by 1000 GMT. | |
They believe a member of the public innocently found the hammer and picked it up. | |
Det Ch Insp Stuart McKenzie, who is leading the investigation, said: "I am only interested in recovering the hammer, and not any person who has innocently picked it up." | |
Anyone who is in possession of the hammer is asked to call police who will collect it. | |
They are asked not to touch it as they may obscure forensic evidence. | |
Det Ch Insp McKenzie added: "Although a person has been charged, I still think people have further information regarding this incident and would urge them to contact the incident room." | |
The pensioner was found by a passer-by about 10 minutes after the attack and taken to hospital. | The pensioner was found by a passer-by about 10 minutes after the attack and taken to hospital. |
