Boy left with head injury after 'terrifying' attack by armed teenage robbers

A teenage boy was attacked and robbed as he walked along a Darnley street in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The 15-year-old and his friend had been walking along Nitshill Road, near to Corselet Road, between 1.30am and 2am on Sunday, August 25 when he was hit over the head by two boys armed with weapons.

They then took his mobile phone and bank card before making off along Corselet Road.

The teen was then helped by two men and a woman who were within a three-door silver or grey coloured car which had pulled into a nearby restaurant car park. He later attended hospital to be treated for a head injury.



The suspects are described as being aged between 14 and 16.

One was wearing a blue coloured Lacoste tracksuit and had his face covered with a scarf or mask, the other one was wearing dark coloured clothing.



Detective Constable Christopher Sneddon, Govan Police Office, said:

 “This was a terrifying attack on a young man and it is vital that we trace those responsible.

“We are particularly keen to speak to those who were within the the silver/grey coloured car who assisted the 15 year-old boy and gave him a lift home. He may have information that can help us in our enquiry.



“If this was you, we encourage you to get in touch.



“We would also ask anyone else who may have been in the area at the time and may have seen anything to come forward.”



Anyone with any information should contact Police via 101, quoting incident number 0631 of Sunday 25 August 2019.

Alternatively you can contact CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where information can be given in confidence.
