The Scottish Ambulance Service have this evening confirmed their attendance at an incident on Main Street earlier this afternoon.

 

A Paramedic Response Unit attended a report of an elderly male having fallen. The Service confirmed he sustained only minor injuries and was discharged at the scene.

 

Local sources identified the man as a Mr Winston Ingram of Craiglang, Glasgow. The same sources, who wish to remain anonymous, claim that following an unsavoury incident at his local Bookmakers, Mr Ingram was avoiding the establishment and had travelled to the Belshotmuir branch to place a bet on “Scotch Corner”. However, after alighting the McKindless service 80 bus, Mr Ingram set off at a speed too great for his prosthetic leg which then detached causing him to fall.

 

Paramedic F. Kiernan was heard to say “the daft auld bugger came flying aff the bus like a bat out of hell, complaining about the “specky” driver goin’ too slow. His leg came away an he ended up oan his a**e. Nothing but a dented pride but”.
