A MAN has been stabbed in a seemingly random attack on a city street.
Police were called to a report that a man had been assaulted in Ellesmere Street in Possilpark, Glasgow, at around 6.50pm on Wednesday.
The injured man, aged 43, was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary to be treated for a stab wound to his leg and has since been discharged.
The suspect is described as having a muscular build and was wearing dark clothing.
Police are appealing for information about the incident.
Detective Constable Kat Keogh, from Maryhill CID, said: “This appears to have been a random attack and enquiries are ongoing to identify the suspect and establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
“I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Ellesmere Street just before 7pm on Wednesday night and witnessed what happened, or noticed anything at all suspicious, to come forward.
“I would also ask motorists with dash-cams who were nearby at the time to check their footage in case they have captured anything which could be of significance.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland through 101, quoting incident number 2828 of Wednesday, November 18, 2020 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
