One man, Robert Marshall, was attacked by a crowd outside his home in Well Road, Auchinleck, after he went to confront them.

He tripped and fell and was hit on the head with a weapon that he believed was a blunt machete.

Mr Marshall was taken to hospital and cuts to his head were closed with surgical glue.

The following day police went to Old Avenue and found an 80 strong mob in the street with Bryce, Turnbull and Taylor at the front.

The crowd became increasingly hostile towards the police and began throwing rocks, fireworks and bottles at officers.

They then began targeting other addresses which were vandalised.
