A man has been acquitted at the high court of attempting to murder a man in Aberdeen.

Maciej Lisowski, 23, allegedly assaulted the 61-year-old in a lane between Park Street and Lemon Place in Aberdeen on February 22 2022.

Prosecutors claimed he caused the man to fall to the ground after hitting him on the head.

He was then said to have kicked the man repeatedly before striking on the head and body with a sharp implement “the nature of which” was “unknown” to prosecutors.

The man was said to have lost consciousness as a result.

The attempted murder accusation stated this was to the man’s severe injury, permanent disfigurement and impairment as well as to the danger of his life.

On Friday, a jury at the High Court in Edinburgh returned a verdict of not proven to the charge of attempted murder but found him guilty of a charge of possessing a knife in Aberdeen on February 21 2022.

The verdicts came at the end of a week-long trial at the court.

Judge Lord Stuart deferred sentence on Lisowski on this charge for 12 months and ordered him to be of good behaviour.

He will appear for sentencing before Lord Stuart on May 24 2024.
