A MURDER investigation is underway after a man died following a fight outside a Tesco petrol station in Scotland.
The 63-year-old victim was found collapsed in a street in Greenock in the early hours of today.
Officers say a man, 44, and a woman, 43, have been arrested.
The alarm was raised at around 1.30am and emergency services raced to the scene next to a Tesco Extra petrol station.
The 63-year-old victim was taken by ambulance to Inverclyde Royal Hospital but he tragically died a short time later as a result of his injuries.
The area around the town's Dalrymple Street has since been cordoned off as officers investigate the circumstances leading to the man's death.
Specialist forensics teams attended the scene and locals were advised to avoid the area if possible while investigations are ongoing.
Two abandoned taxis were spotted behind the cordon at the gas pumps of the petrol station.
Detective Chief Inspector Fil Capaldi of Paisley Police Office said: "Enquiries are at an early stage into this death and we have officers carrying out enquiries in the local area and gathering and studying CCTV footage, to establish more details on the exact circumstances surrounding this murder investigation.
