Emergency services attended and the 38-year-old man was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where he remains in a serious condition.

“I would also like to hear from anyone who has dash cam, private CCTV or doorbell footage around the time of the incident. Any information, or footage, could prove vital, so please do pass it on to officers.
