A man was hit by a car and another assaulted as police probe an attempted murder in Govanhill.
The 21-year-old was standing on Annette Street when he was struck by a dark coloured Audi that had been deliberately driven at him. The car stopped along with two other vehicles, a silver Honda Accord and a Mercedes, and the occupants of these vehicles chased the man and stabbed him.
Another man, aged 20, was assaulted in the incident.
The suspects then got back into the cars and made off in the direction of Calder Street.
Police and ambulance were called and both men were taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
The 21-year-old is being treated for a stab wound and the 20 year-old is being treated for his injuries. Hospital staff describe their condition as stable.
Detective Inspector Peter Sharp said: “Our enquiries are ongoing to establish more details including the circumstances surrounding this attack and to trace the men responsible.
“This is a busy area and I would like to speak to anyone who witnessed this incident who has not yet spoken to officers, or anyone who has information that will assist this investigation.”
