A man has appeared in court accused of attempted murder following an incident in Lewis at the weekend.
Lewis Macdonald made no plea to a single charge during a petition hearing at Inverness Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old is accused of allegedly carrying out an assault to severe injury,
permanent disfigurement, impairment, and danger of life.
The Crown allegation adds that Macdonald attempted to murder a person.
Macdonald, whose general address was given as the Western Isles, appeared via video link to Inverness Sheriff Court.
Sheriff Eilidh Macdonald instructed that the case be continued for further examination.
He was remanded in custody pending a further court appearance at a later date.
His court appearance comes two days after police were called to an incident in India Street in a residential part of the town of Stornoway.
Police Scotland said officers in Stornoway had “arrested and charged a 23-year-old
man in connection with a serious assault.
“It follows the assault of a 26-year-old man at a property in India Street on Sunday,
24 November, 2024.”
