Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was seriously assaulted in Govan in the early hours of Friday 10 August 2018.
Around 12:25pm on Friday, a 53 year old man was walking along Govan Road near to Broomloan Road, Govan, when he was attacked by up to five men sustaining a cut on his head by one armed with a knife.
He was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he was treated and has since been released.
Detective Sergeant Nick Gribben, Govan CID, said:
“The man had been out for the night and was heading to meet up with his brother when he was attacked by the group.
“At this time we have no indication as to why he was targeted and we know already from our house to house enquiries that there was a disturbance in the street, so we would appeal to anyone who was either in the area and saw what happened or who has any information that will assist our investigation to come forward.
“At the moment the only description of the attackers was that they were maybe in their 20s.”
Information can be passed to the CID at Govan Police Office, Helen Street, Glasgow, via 101.
