Pensioner seriously hurt in Glasgow after being attacked in a parked car
The 73-year-old needed treatment for facial wounds
An elderly man's been left with serious facial injuries after he was attacked in his parked car in the centre of Glasgow.
It happened at around 2.30pm on Thursday December 21.
The 73-year-old was using his phone in the parked Skoda Fabia on St James Road when two hooded men opened the drivers door and assaulted him with 'a sharp implement'.
They both made off on foot, while the man was taken to the nearby Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
He was later released, but will require further treatment.
Officers are currently reviewing CCTV in the area and are making door to door enquiries.
Detective Constable Vicky Martin, Greater Glasgow CID, said: “This was a callous attack on an elderly man who has now been left with serious facial injuries.
“We still have to establish exactly why this assault took place, and therefore we are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time to think back.
"The attack took place in a busy part of the city, near a college and a university. Did they see two men approaching a yellow car?
“We would ask anyone with any information to contact us.”
