Detectives are appealing for information following a serious assault in the Saltmarket area of Glasgow on Monday 7 May 2018. Around 10pm a 38 year old man was walking along Greenhead Street, across from Glasgow Green, with family when he was approached by a large group of men and women.
One of the men talked with the victim who was then hit on the head with a glass.
The group then ran towards Glasgow Green and split up.
The victim was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment to a serious head injury and has since been released.
Detective Constable Sean McLoughlin from Shettleston CID said: “The Glasgow Green area was still relatively busy around the time of the incident, with people walking their dogs or heading home from a day out.
“I would appeal to anyone who was in the area and either witnessed the attack, or saw a group of men and woman running off, to please get in touch.
“I would also ask any motorists with dashcams who were near to Glasgow Green around 10pm on Monday night to come forward in case you have captured any footage regarding the incident or suspects.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact Shettleston CID via 101, quoting incident number 4775 of Monday 7 May 2018. Alternatively you can call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence."
