LISTEN: Cops Narrow Hunt In Glasgow Attempted Murder
Police at Shettleston are re-appealing for witnesses and information following the attempted murder of an 18 year-old man in Carntyne, Glasgow on Sunday 30 November 2014.
Around 2000 hours on Sunday 30 November, the 18 year-old man was walking with two friends in Inveresk Street, Carntyne when a black coloured car, believed to be a Volkswagen Golf drove towards him and struck him. The car stopped and a man got out the passenger seat and argued with the 18 year-old man. The passenger got back into the car and it drove off only when it returned a short time later and struck him again.
Detective Inspector William Downie at Shettleston CID said: “Since this attempted murder was reported to us, extensive enquiries have been carried out to trace the vehicle involved and its occupants. We are still working to establish the motive behind this incident.
“We believe that the car involved was a black Volkswagen Golf and I would ask the public for any information that may assist our ongoing investigation. Has anyone noticed a car matching this description with accident damage - particularly to the front of it, or has anyone recently been asked to repair this type of car?
“The 18 year-old victim was initially taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, but has since been transferred to Southern General Hospital and his condition has improved slightly. Hospital staff describe his current condition as serious.
“I would still urge any witnesses, or anyone with information who has not yet spoken to police to come forward to officers. Shettleston Police Office can be contacted by dialling 101. Alternatively contact CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.
