Moment Albanian thug chases police officer with a chainsaw in Paisley

A man has been warned he faces a lengthy jail term after chasing a police officer with a chainsaw and attempting to murder him.Liridon Kastrati had been accused of ramming a car into a marked police vehicle and then brandishing a chainsaw at officers in Paisley in broad daylight on May 6, 2024.The 32-year-old had denied a single charge of attempting to murder four police officers but, yesterday, he was convicted of an amended charge of attempted murder in relation to one person, PC Gary Cowan, following a trial at the High Court in Paisley.The amended charge also removed reference to the car crash.On Monday, Kastrati was acquitted of charges of breach of the peace, stealing a car and motoring offences when the prosecution withdrew those four charges, which he had denied.Kastrati will be sentenced on December 19 and Judge Gallacher told him to expect a 'significant penalty'.
