An islander is being treated for serious injuries after being allegedly attacked on Barra.

 

The 43-year-old man, believed to be from the neighbouring island of Vatersay, was airlifted to the Royal Infirmary in Glasgow.

 

Police declined to say if the man had sustained burn injuries.

 

It is understood police are questioning two people over the incident.

 

A Western Isles police spokesman said: “Police in Stornoway received a report of a serious assault on a 47 year-old man at an address on the Isle of Barra on Monday.

 

“The injured man was flown to hospital where he is in a serious but stable condition.

 

“Enquiries remain ongoing at this time and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.”
