Two men have been assaulted in Glasgow last weekend.

At around 3:30pm, two men, one aged 71, were near to Barrowlands Park in Trongate, when they were approached by a group of six men and attacked.

The second victim has not yet reported the matter and police are urging him to come forward. He is white, bald, with a medium build and was wearing a red jacket, blue jeans and white trainers.

All suspects are described as being white - one has short brown hair, two have short dark hair, one has black hair, one has grey hair and one is bald.

One was wearing a green short sleeved t-shirt and had a black jumper tied round his waist.

The second suspect was in a grey polo shirt with a white collar and also had a dark jumper tied round his waist.

The third man was in a white shirt with black trousers on.

Another man had a black polo shirt with a white emblem on the chest.

One other suspect had a yellow t-shirt on and the last suspect was carrying a black rucksack.

Detectives are reviewing CCTV footage for any information and are asking for anyone with mobile phone footage to pass it on as it could assist the ongoing investigation.

Detective Sergeant Ainsley Clark said:

"I would urge the man who was assaulted who has not reported it to police to contact us. The area was very busy on Saturday and I am appealing to people who were in the area at the time of the incident to contact us. Many incidents are captured on mobile phones now and I would appeal to people who may have filmed the incident to contact us and provide us with any footage. It could prove vital in helping us identify the men responsible for these attacks."
