A third man has been charged with attempted murder after an incident involving a potential firearm in Glasgow.

Police shut down parts of Mansionhouse Road in the Shawlands area of the city for much of Sunday as part of an unknown and ongoing investigation.

It has now been revealed it related to an alleged murder bid on a man in Pollok on Sunday, August 13.

A 35-year-old man was discovered with serious injuries and was later taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment.

Two men, aged 34, were arrested and charged on Friday, August 25.

A third man, 40, has now also been charged in connection with the alleged crime – leading police to search the home in Shawlands as part of the investigation.

They are expected to appear in court on Monday.
