A man is in hospital with serious injuries following a “violent and unprovoked” attack.

The 39-year-old was assaulted by two other men on Carntyne Road in Glasgow before being taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

The incident took place close to the junction with Greyfriars Street at around 2pm on Tuesday, August 2.

Police are now appealing for two suspects in relation to the incident.

The first suspect is described as being white, in his 30s, around 5ft 6in, of a stocky build.

He is said to have been wearing a grey hooded top and orange high-visibility work trousers.

The second suspect is described as being white, in his 30s, of skinny build and is said to have been wearing all black clothing and work trousers.

Detective Sergeant Graham Clarke, of Greater Glasgow CID, said: “This was a violent and unprovoked attack in broad daylight.

“This is a busy street with lots of shops. Think back were you in the area and did you see anything which may help us identify these men?

“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and we are relying on members of the public to provide us with as much information as possible.

“If you can assist then please contact us on 101, quoting reference incident 2811 of August 2, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
