Man in court charged with attempted murder after 'dog killed and person knocked down'
A man has appeared in court after a man was left injured in hospital and a dog died after allegedly being hit by a car in Greenock.
The dog has died after being struck by a car while being walked. The pooch passed away following an incident in Greenock last week.
The dog's owner was also struck by the vehicle in question - in the town's Belville Street - and was rushed to hospital as a result of the incident.
A police probe was launched and, during the investigation, officers detained a 27-year-old man. Reece Stewart appeared at Greenock Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
He was charged with attempted murder, causing assault to severe injury and permanent disfigurement. Stewart also faced charges in court under the Animal Health and Welfare Act, the Road Traffic Act, and the Misuse of Drugs Act.
He made no plea and was released on bail following the hearing.

Teen boy killed in E-bike horror crash as tributes pour in
The teenager died in an E-bike crash on Monday, July 22. A 15-year-old boy who died in a horror crash involving an e-bike has been named as Devon Simmonds. The teenager tragically lost his life following the incident on Rowrah Crescent in Middleton, just before midday on Monday, July 22. Emergency services raced to the scene but, despite their best efforts, Devon was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. His devastated family are being supported by specially trained officers, say Greater Manchester Police. A 59-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody. Officers have also arrested another 15-year-old boy on suspicion of theft as part of their ongoing investigation, reports Manchester Evening News. The close-knit community has been left shaken by the tragedy. One neighbour who knew the boy and his family well, told the Manchester Evening News: "This involves the family of my friend. When something like this happens you just try to keep out of the way because it's a sad thing." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Another local, who said they knew of Devon, said: "He was a top, top lad. Lived on this estate all his life and a lot of people knew him. "He was very respectable, obviously it's a horrible thing to happen to him and his family." Greater Manchester Police say they are still working to piece together the full circumstances and are probing allegations of theft in the lead-up to the collision. Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Dean, from GMP's Rochdale district, said: 'This terrible incident has seen the death of a teenage boy, and we are working hard to establish the full facts of this case, in what is the very early stages of an investigation. "A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and will be questioned in due course, while officers are already in place to support the family of the boy who has died today. "I want to remind people that at the heart of this is a grieving family, and I would ask the community to not speculate on social media while we piece together the events of earlier today. 'As our work progresses, I would ask anyone with information to please come forward – whether you witnessed anything or have any dashcam, CCTV, or doorbell footage from the area.'
