Scots OAP suffers horrific injuries after being 'beaten up and stabbed' in his own home

A frail Scots pensioner suffered horrific injuries after he was attacked and robbed in his own flat.
James Clunes, 75, of Aberdeen, arrived home from a night at the bingo on Saturday, June 25 when two men allegedly forced their way into his flat.
The pensioner was left with a broken nose, a fractured cheekbone and a stab wound to the leg before being rushed to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment. One man has since appeared in court in connection with the attack, while cops continue to hunt for the second man.
James, a former colour sergeant who served in the Scots Guards for 30 years, has spent over a decade battling tongue, mouth and throat cancer and had just returned from a five-day stint in hospital the night before the incident took place.
His brother, Stephen Clunes, told the Daily Record that James is now terrified to return to his home and that what happened has had a major physical and mental impact on him.
Stephen, 61, said: "James is very sore and extremely bruised. Emotionally, he's in a difficult place.
"He is putting a brave face on and playing it down, but I know my brother and he'll take a big hit from this.
"It' will have a big effect on him and it's still very raw in his mind.
"He normally would've been at the Forces Parade on Saturday morning but he chose not to go.
"But when he felt a bit better in the evening, he jumped on the bus to the local social club to play some bingo then took the bus home at night.
"When he got home, he was attacked."
James claims the two men appeared outside his block of flats as he entered the building before following him into the lift.
But when he tried to enter his flat, the two men burst through his door and severely beat him before he was stabbed in the leg.
