A man has been left with serious injuries to his head and face after he was attacked in Riddrie.

The 23 year old was walking alone along Gartcraig Road just before midnight last night when he was approached by a man and woman who kicked, punched and stamped on his head.

He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary and released after treatment for serious head and facial injuries.

The couple responsible were last seen making off in the direction of Warriston Street. The man is described as wearing dark clothing and the woman is described as having dark hair, wearing dark clothing, a baseball cap and hooped earrings.

Officers are currently carrying out door-to-door enquiries in the local area and reviewing CCTV footage to identify the man and woman involved.

Detective Sergeant Colin Thapar is appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and can assist the enquiry to get in touch.

He said: "Gartcraig Road is a busy road and I am sure there would have been other people in the area or motorists driving past. If you recognise the description of the man and woman or have dashcam footage of the incident please get in touch as soon as possible. Please call 101 and quote incident number 4807 of 18 July 2019."
