Man in serious condition after attempted murder in Milton

A man is in a serious condition in hospital after being attacked by four men in Milton in the early hours of this morning.

Around 12:45am, the group got out of a white car in Egilsay Street before stabbing the man.

He was taken by ambulance to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he remains for treatment.

Medical staff describe his condition as serious but stable.

The suspects are described as all white men, believed to be in their late 20s to early 40s, wearing dark clothing.

Detective Sergeant Derrick Lunan, Maryhill CID, said: “The injured man had been waiting for a lift on Mingulay Crescent at Egilsay Street, when a white car with four men on board approached him. The men, armed with weapons, got out of the car, chased him through gardens in Egilsay Street, before stabbing him.

“The suspects then made off in the car along Eglisay Street towards Castlebay Street, Milton.

“A number of neighbours came to his aid following the attack and police and ambulance were called.

“We have yet to establish a motive for the assault or whether the man was the intended target or not, however, either way we still have to catch those responsible for this brutal attack.

“Officers have been in the area today doing house to house and checking CCTV as well as speaking to neighbours but I would still appeal to anyone who maybe saw the car in the area before or after the attack or indeed who may have any information that will assist our enquiry to contact us.

"We’d also be keen to get any dash cam footage from cars driving about the area as well.
