An investigation has been launched into an attempted muder in Glasgow that's left a man fighting for his life in hospital.

A 46-year-old man is in critical condition at the QEUH after the "significant altercation" near the Sou'Western Tavern on Bridge Street at around 7pm last night.

Four suspects - two men and two women - are being sought after by police for leaving the man with "serious injuries".

Police are also considering the possibility that another man may have been injured in the incident, but don't think they could have been serious as he was later seen on CCTV entering bars.

They have released a statement with descriptions of the four suspects in the hope any witnesses can provide information.

It reads: "The first suspect is white, in his 20-30s, with short dark hair. He was wearing a long-sleeved green jumper, black jogging trousers with red and white stripes down the side and red and white trainers.

"The fourth suspect is also female, white and in her 20-30s. She has long dark hair and was wearing a white hooded top with a red love heart motif, blue jeans and white trainers."
