Police are investigating after a taxi driver was stabbed and robbed by two men in broad daylight.

Officers received a report of a 35-year-old man suffering from stab injuries after the attack on Baldragon Road in Easterhouse, Glasgow.

The incident happened at around 1.30pm on Saturday after the taxi driver had dropped the two suspects off on Lochend Road, where they proceeded to attack him.

The two young men were picked up from Dunphail Road and made their escape towards the Bishop Loch area of Easterhouse.

The driver was then rushed to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where his condition is said to be stable.

The suspects are described as white with local accents. Both are believed to be either 18 or 19 years of age and have dark hair. Both were wearing blue coloured jackets. One of the men is described as having bushy eyebrows.

Officers are in the process of gathering CCTV images to review in order to gain additional information on the two suspects.

Detective Constable Alan Watt said: “This despicable attack took place just yards from local shops in Lochend Road. It’s imperative we trace the two men responsible.

"I am appealing to local people in the area who may have seen something to contact us. Were you in one of the shops, did you see the two men running off – if you have any information or knowledge regarding the suspects or the crime then please do get in touch.”
