A cyclist was attacked in Glasgow city centre on Friday night, leaving him in hospital with a serious leg injury, police have said.
The 20-year-old victim was riding on Sauchiehall Street near the junction of Cambridge Street when he was approached by another man and assaulted.
He suffered a significant injury to his leg that required treatment at hospital.
Police Scotland are now appealing for any witnesses to the attack, or who may have filmed the incident at approximately 8.20pm on Friday evening.
Detective Constable Paul Campbell said: “I would urge anyone who may have seen what happened before and after this incident to get in touch.
“In particular I am keen to speak to anyone who may have taken footage or photographs of the incident on a mobile phone or who may have dash-cam or private CCTV footage from the area around that time.
“Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 3612 of Friday, 15 October, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
