A man has been left seriously injured after being attacked near a primary school in Glasgow.

The 35-year-old was across from Royston Primary School when the incident took place at around 3.50pm on Monday.

Emergency services attended the scene on Royston Road in the east end of the city and the victim was taken to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he is being treated for his injuries.

Medical staff have described his condition as serious.

Police are now investigating the incident and have issued a witness appeal.

Officers are keen to speak to a number of men, described as being local and in their 30s-40s, who were in the area around the time of the attack.

Detective Constable Holly Canning said: “This incident took place in a busy part of the city, in broad daylight, so we believe there will be a number of pedestrians and motorists who could have seen the attack.

“We are asking for anyone with information or potential dashcam footage to please come forward. Any information could assist our enquiries, so please call 101.”
