Woman carrying baby threatened by knife-wielding intruder in Knightswood

A woman carrying a baby was threatened with a knife during a `terrifying' incident in her home.

A man armed with a blade entered the property in Fulwood Avenue in Glasgow's Knightswood area on Friday afternoon.

He began to threaten the 48-year-old woman, who was carrying an infant, but ran off when she shouted for her teenage son to help.

During the incident another man was standing in the driveway and they both made off towards Kelso Street.

The first man is described as around 6ft and wore a dark-coloured parka jacket with a fur-lined hood and a dark blue and green tartan scarf.

The second man is described only as wearing a dark jacket.

Detective Constable Greg Stewart said: `Thankfully nobody was hurt but this was still a terrifying experience for the woman and her family.

`Extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace the men involved and I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Fulwood Avenue on Friday afternoon and may have noticed men matching the above descriptions, or anything at all suspicious, to please get in touch.'

Anyone with information is asked to contact Drumchapel CID via 101, quoting incident number 2523 of Friday November 17 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
