Detective sergeant Ross MacDonald said: "This was an extremely violent attack on this man and woman and I am appealing to anyone who was in the Belville Street area around the time of the incident last night, who may have witnessed this attack take place, or who was driving by and may have dashcam footage to come forward to police.
"I would like to speak to the driver of a grey Mini who was in the street at the time, as she may have information that is vital to this investigation."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Greenock Police Office on 101, quoting reference number 5831 of June 28.
Alternatively, Crimstoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.
