A 53-year-old man has been left scarred for life after an unprovoked attack in Glasgow.

The man was walking along Paisley Road West near to Berryknowes Road, Cardonald, when he was approached by a man who punched him several times.

He suffered serious facial injuries and was taken by ambulance to the Southern General Hospital for treatment.

Hospital staff described his condition as stable.

The suspect, who ran off towards Lammermoore Avenue, is described as white, 45 to 49 years old, 5ft 7in tall, of medium to stocky build, with balding hair. He was wearing a light coloured top and jeans.

The incident happened at around 10pm on Saturday.

"His injuries will leave a permanent scar."
