Police treat attack in Glasgow as attempted murder
Police are treating an attack on a man in the Milton area of Glasgow as attempted murder.
The 34-year-old was stabbed and seriously injured after being assaulted by four men on Ashgill Road just after midnight.
He is being treated at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where medical staff have described his condition as critical.
Officers say they believe the attackers are all white and in their 20s.
Detective Sergeant John Dowds, Greater Glasgow CID, is appealing for information.
He said: “The injured man had just been dropped off by a taxi in Balmore Road near to Ashgill Street where it is believed he became involved in an argument with some people in the area. However, he made off into Ashgill Road where he was attacked by four men. He was very seriously injured with what was originally thought to be life threatening injuries, however, thankfully now he seems to be in a critical but stable condition.'
He added: 'I have no doubt that a good number of people either saw or heard this attack take place. I would ask that anyone with information contact the CID at Maryhill Police Office via 101. If for any reason you are reluctant to speak to police, then please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence.'
