Police are appealing for information after a man was found seriously injured in the East End of Glasgow yesterday.

A 19-year-old man sustained serious injuries during a large scale disturbance on London Road near to Templeton Street, Calton, Glasgow just before 5pm.

He was taken by ambulance to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he is detained for treatment. Hospital staff describe his condition as stable.

Detective Sergeant Andrea Templeton, London Road CID, is leading the enquiry. She said:

“The injured man had been found by members of the public slumped on a bench opposite the playpark in Templeton Street. It would appear he had been stabbed during the fight.

“We had a number of calls from the public regarding this fight which we know involved men and at least one woman. It happened in a residential area near a main road in the middle of the afternoon when there would have been plenty people and vehicles about.

“Door to door checks are being carried out and officers are also checking CCTV, however, I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident, who has not already come forward, to contact police."
