Man found unconscious in city centre following attack

A man is recovering in hospital after he was found unconscious in the city centre last night.

The 42 year-old is being treated for facial injuries following the incident in Cadogen Street around quarter past 9.

Officers say he was attacked and they are appealing for witnesses.

The suspect is described as white, tall, skinny, with dark hair and stubble. He was wearing a grey jumper.

Detective Constable Nicol McPherson, Stewart Street CID, said today:

“The man who called the ambulance left the scene before it arrived and took the injured man to hospital, so we are keen to speak to him about what he may have seen or knows about what happened.

“Officers have been checking CCTV in the area and we know that Cadogan Street at West Campbell Street can be quite busy around that time of night. There is a local soup kitchen not far from where the attack took place so it is possible that someone there saw the attack and could help our investigation.

“I would ask anyone who has any information they think may assist our enquiries to contact the officers at Glasgow City Centre CID via 101. Please quote incident number 4103 of Sunday 9 September 2018 when calling. If you don’t wish to speak to the police direct, then Crimestoppers can be called in confidence on 0800 555 111."
