Man ‘stabbed with needle’ during alleged murder bid

A man has been accused of trying to kill another man in a car park – including stabbing him with a needle.

George Johnston, 32, allegedly attacked Scott Muir on January 17 this year.

The incident is said to have occurred at the NCP in Oswald Street, Glasgow.

Johnston has been accused of punching, kicking and stamping on the 50-year-old.

Prosecutors further claim he struck Mr Muir with a glass bottle and stabbed him with a hypodermic needle.

Tony Lenehan, defending, pleaded not guilty on Johnston’s behalf during a short hearing at the High Court in Glasgow on Thursday.

Lord Matthews continued the case until September. No trial date was set.
