Man assaulted in the face while sitting in a park with friend

Police investigation: A man was hit in the face with an object.

A man was hit in the face while sitting in a park in Glasgow.

The 30-year-old man was sitting in Govanhill Park with his friend, 26, when the pair were approached by two men and a woman.

One of the men used an object to hit the victim around the face causing cuts to his head.

They then ran off in the direction of Cuthbertson Street.

He was taken to hospital for treatment but has since been discharged. His friend was also assaulted but did not need to go to hospital.

Detective Constable Chris Sneddon, Gorbals CID, is appealing for information.

He said: "There were lots of people in the park at the time of the attack. I'd appeal to anyone who saw what happened to come forward. At this time we have no motive."

The two men were described as in their late 30s or early 40s. One was wearing a navy blue jumper and jeans, the other a green jumper and jeans.

The woman was around 30 years old, she had shoulder length brown hair and was wearing what is believed to be a dark Superdry jacket with red writing.

Anyone with information can contact Gorbals CID on 0141 532 5300 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given in confidence.
