Priesthill man attacked in own home in broad daylight

A man has been rushed to hospital with a head injury after two men forced their way into his Priesthill home in broad daylight yesterday afternoon.

Police say they do not know what the motive for the attack was but it does not appear to be a robbery as nothing was taken.

The 63 year-old's since been released from Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

The suspects, both white, are described as:

1. Bald, wearing a black tracksuit with blue stripes on both the arms and the legs, dark coloured gloves and a beanie hat or balaclava. (NFD)

2. Wearing dark clothing, grey Nike gloves with a white logo and a beanie hat or balaclava. (NFD)

Detective Constable Emma Nicholson, Govan CID, said:

“Whilst at this time we don’t have a motive for this attack, we do believe that the men went to that house specifically; it wasn’t an opportunist attack or an attempted robbery as the suspects did not try and steal anything.

“A couple of people chased them men, however, they made off into a small hatchback car, possibly blue in colour, that they had parked on the street nearby.

“We have already spoken to people in the area and we’re checking CCTV, however, I am still keen to hear from anyone who saw the car or the men either before or after that attack.

“If you have any information that will assist our enquiry, then please contact the CID at Govan Police Station on 101 quoting incident number 1569/20/03/2018. If you wish to remain anonymous, then give Crimestoppers a call on 0800 555111.
