A man is in a serious condition today after he was stabbed in an attempted murder bid in Glasgow .

The 28-year-old was attacked on Egilsay Street in the Milton area of the city by four men at around 12.45am.

The male was standing waiting for a lift when four men jumped out a car, began chasing him through gardens, then stabbed him.

Following the attack he was taken by ambulance to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he remains in a serious, but stable condition.

The suspects are described as all white men, believed to be in their late 20s to early 40s, wearing dark clothing.

Detective Sergeant Derrick Lunan, Maryhill CID, said: "The injured man had been waiting for a lift on Mingulay Crescent at Egilsay Street, when a white car with four men on board approached him. The men, armed with weapons, got out of the car, chased him through gardens in Egilsay Street, before stabbing him.

"The suspects then made off in the car along Eglisay Street towards Castlebay Street, Milton.

"A number of neighbours came to his aid following the attack and police and ambulance were called.

"We have yet to establish a motive for the assault or whether the man was the intended target or not, however, either way we still have to catch those responsible for this brutal attack.

"Officers have been in the area today doing house to house and checking CCTV as well as speaking to neighbours but I would still appeal to anyone who maybe saw the car in the area before or after the attack or indeed who may have any information that will assist our enquiry to contact us.

"We’d also be keen to get any dash cam footage from cars driving about the area as well."
