POLICE are appealing for information after a man was stabbed in a Scottish park.
The 24-year-old was set upon by a group of males – described as being aged about 15 or 16 and dressed in dark clothing – in Glasgow's Queens Park on Friday night.
He was taken to the city’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment, but has since been discharged.
Police Scotland appealed for anyone in the area who witnessed the attack, which took place at about 8.30pm, to get in touch.
Officers are also keen to trace a passer-by who is believed to have filmed the incident on their mobile phone.
Detective Sergeant Craig Muir said: “Our inquiries into this incident are ongoing.
“The area was fairly busy at the time so I would urge anyone who witnessed the incident who has yet to speak to a police officer to get in touch.
“Inquiries so far suggest an unknown member of the public was in the area at the time and may have filmed the incident on their phone and we would be particularly keen to speak to them.
“We would also be keen to speak to any passing motorists who may have dashcam footage from the area around that time.”
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!
