He flouted five separate bail orders – one for a drugs<\/a> charge imposed just a week before these crimes.<\/p>\n Explaining these attacks, prosecutor Neil McCulloch told the court: “This case relates to four incidents which took place in Glasgow city centre between 11.20pm on July 8 2024 and 1.30am on July 9.<\/p>\n “This was the assault<\/a> of several people – who are not known to Fulton and Paterson – at various locations.”<\/p>\n Gregor McHarg was first targeted while out walking<\/a> his dog in Sauchiehall Street.<\/p>\n Tourist caught filming small child in Scots park tells court he meant \u2018no harm\u2019<\/p>\n One threatened: “I will slit your dog’s throat.”<\/p>\n Mr McHarg initially questioned them before both claimed they were armed with blades.<\/p>\n The thugs stated: “Do you know who we are?”<\/p>\n Fulton initially slashed at Mr McHarg and tried to stab him. The man branded them “cowards”.<\/p>\n Mr McHarg – bleeding from a wound to his elbow – then tailed the pair after they casually walked off.<\/p>\n He approached them in nearby Bath Street where Fulton knifed him in the chest and Paterson hurled a traffic cone at him.<\/p>\n Mr McHarg ended up needing hospital<\/a> treatment, including for a punctured lung.<\/p>\n You are both violent thugs, and I will protect the public from you<\/p>\n Lord Mulholland<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Mr McCulloch said there was a “potential” threat to his life. He is also permanently scarred.<\/p>\n The next victim was then set upon in a “seemingly unprovoked” attack<\/a> in Buchanan Street about an hour later.<\/p>\n Robert Anderson was punched by Fulton before Paterson joined in.<\/p>\n After an attempt was made to smack him with a glass bottle, Fulton then slashed the man twice with a black-handled blade across the face.<\/p>\n Mr Anderson ended up needing a total of 19 stitches for two wounds.<\/p>\n Around 1.20am, Sergi Avila was walking with a friend in Dundas Street when the assailants asked for cigarettes. They did not have any to give.<\/p>\n Mr McCulloch: “As a result, one of the pair began challenging Sergi Avila to fight<\/a> before he approached from behind and slashed him to the right side of his face.”<\/p>\n One of the victims called you cowards, which is a good description of what you did… you will pay a heavy price<\/p>\n Lord Mulholland<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This caused a nasty, disfiguring wound from this victim’s mouth across his cheek to his ear.<\/p>\n Fulton and Paterson fled the scene. After getting help from a nearby motorist, Mr Alva was taken to hospital for his injuries.<\/p>\n The court heard, like the other men, he is also scarred for life.<\/p>\n The final victim was Just Eat<\/a> delivery<\/a> driver Saoud Abdullah, minutes later.<\/p>\n He was struck in Sauchiehall Street, having initially given an associate of the pair some water.<\/p>\n Fulton went on to yank open the man’s Just Eat bag and demanded his phone.<\/p>\n Mr McCulloch: “Fulton slashed him on the left hand, causing it to bleed heavily.”<\/p>\n You pleaded guilty to a series of appalling assaults using weapons on innocent members of the public<\/p>\n Lord Mulholland<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Mr Abdullah also ended up in hospital, having gone to a nearby hotel for help.<\/p>\n During a probe to catch the attackers, Fulton was arrested later that day.<\/p>\n It was almost a fortnight before Paterson was traced in Glasgow city centre.<\/p>\n The pair admitted in court to being involved in three of the aggravated assaults, with Fulton alone pleading guilty to attacking Mr Abdullah.<\/p>\n Sentencing, Lord Mulholland ordered one of the thugs to “be respectful” by taking his hands out of his pockets and standing up straight in the dock.<\/p>\n![\"Declan](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/declan-fulton-jailed-high-court-1000181616.jpg\")
