TRIBUTES have been paid to a “one in a million” dad who died after an alleged stabbing at a bus stop in Clydebank.
Dominic Brown - also known as Dom - was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after suffering serious injuries in the four-person “disturbance” on Radnor Street at around 5.45pm on Sunday evening.
However, the 31-year-old, of Cornock Street, died soon after.

A JustGiving page set up by Gillian Connolly, the mother of 19-year-old Aaron Keenan who tragically died after being hit by a train last year, has already raised £2,500 in the hours following his death.
Speaking on the page, she said: “I lost my son last year as he was involved in an accident.
“One of his friends created a JustGiving page for us, we never will be able to express how much it helped us.
“Thank you to everyone that’s donated so far. Sometimes a money gift is all people can do to show they’re thinking of the family.”
Another man, aged 34, remains in hospital where staff have described his condition as serious but stable.
It is thought Mr Brown had been seen arguing with a woman near the bus stop prior to the attack.
Detectives have not confirmed what type of weapon was used, although it is thought a blade was involved.
A 45-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of Dom.
A 38-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with an attempted murder on the 34-year-old.

A large-scale police cordon was put in place around the scene as officers took over a section of Kilbowie Road, close to Cleddans Bar, near Adriano’s popular fish and chip shop.
Forensics teams worked at the scene well into yesterday following the incident, which police have only described as a ‘disturbance’. Buses were diverted from the scene, with McColl’s Travel issuing a statement yesterday morning saying the Kilbowie Road/Drumry Road stop would not be served for the remainder of the day.
Anyone with any information regarding this incident should contact the police via 101, quoting incident number 3416 of Sunday, August 5 2018.
