Liridon Kastrati chased a police officer with a running chainsaw after his car collided with a marked police car in Paisley, Scotland, on May 6, 2024. The incident happened around lunchtime near the junction of Buchlyvie Road and Glasgow Road in the Ralston area. Two officers were injured in the collision and treated by paramedics.

Kastrati initially ran from the crash. When PC Gary Cowan approached, Kastrati returned to his car, retrieved a chainsaw from the trunk and started it. He chased Cowan along the busy road, revving the chainsaw and shouting abuse at police. He turned toward other officers before pursuing Cowan again, then put the chainsaw down and was arrested. Officers took him to the ground and restrained him on the pavement. Police said the incident was not terror-related.

Kastrati was convicted of attempting to murder Cowan on November 25, 2025. On January 20, 2026, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, backdated to May 7, 2024. Cowan has since returned to work.

The Jag with those 20" alloys and low sidewalls having to mount that curb is the biggest crime on display here.
