Man attacked by gang with baseballs bats after row at traffic lights in Glasgow

A man has been left with life threatening injuries after a gang beat him with baseball bats in Glasgow on Sunday.

He was walking along Inverleith Street near to Craigleith Street around 8pm when the three men jumped out off a silver Ford transit van and attacked him - they made off in the same vehicle.

The 26 year-old was rushed to Glasgow Royal Infirmary and police are treating the incident as attempted murder.

Detectives are appealing for witnesses.

Detective Constable David Adam, of Shettleston Police Office, said:

“This would appear to have been an unprovoked and violent attack which left a man with life threatening injuries and therefore it is vital that we trace the men involved.

“There is a Chinese takeaway (Panda Chinese Takeaway) near to where the first altercation took place on Murrayfield Street and we would appeal to anyone who was in the area who may have seen an altercation take place to come forward.

“We are asking you to think back - were you on Murrayfield Street, Carntyne Road or Inverleith Street that night? Did you see anything suspicious or any vehicles matching the descriptions?

“You may also have dash cam footage which could aid our enquiries."
