“We are currently going through CCTV and speaking to those who were in the area at the time to try to establish exactly what happened here,” said Detective inspector Peter Crombie, of the major investigations team.
“We are treating the attack on the 47-year-old man as attempted murder, and the attacks on the 29 and 30-year-old men as serious assaults.
“There may have been more people injured in this incident who did not seek medical treatment last night and we would appeal for them to come forward and speak to us.
“We also know there were a number of people in the area who may have got caught up in it, or stopped to see what was going on. We would ask these people to check back and see if they have any mobile phone footage or images that can help us.
