A man sustained severe injuries following an attack in his residence. TJ Byrne, 36, narrowly escaped with his life after the assault occurred at his home on Garry Street in Fife at 6:10 am last Thursday. Responding to a report of a robbery and assault, Police Scotland officers quickly arrived at the scene, with ambulance crews also providing immediate assistance. TJ was promptly taken to the hospital for medical care and has since shared images of his injuries.
The photos depict deep lacerations on TJ’s neck, ear, and the back of his head, along with significant bruising on his face and a swollen eye after receiving stitches from medical professionals. Expressing gratitude for still being alive, TJ acknowledged feeling sore but emphasized his survival as the primary blessing.
TJ, a digital creator who frequently travels for work, now expresses fear about returning home following the traumatic incident. He has initiated discussions with the local council regarding the possibility of relocating to ensure his safety and well-being.
In response to the attack, detectives have commenced an investigation, leading to the arrest and charging of two men from Fife in connection with the incident. The suspects appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court last week, facing charges of hamesucken, severe assault, and robbery for assaulting someone within their own residence. Both individuals remained in custody, with their court appearance scheduled within the next eight days after not entering a plea.
According to a spokesperson from Police Scotland, the incident took place at Garry Park, Glencraig, at 6:10 am on Thursday, October 23, 2025. The 36-year-old victim was hospitalized for treatment, while the two arrested men, aged 30 and 35, are being held accountable for their alleged involvement.
