Well known Glasgow taxi driver and mental advocate Stef Shaw has slammed a vandalised message painted on a bridge by the River Clyde.
Stef, who has a Facebook page under the name of Glasgow Cabbie , has previously made emotional appeals for emergency lifeline phones to be installed at the Clyde.
Now, a painted message on the South Portland Street Suspension Bridge over the river reading "Jump In Die" was discovered.
Speaking to Glasgow Live , Stef described the message as "utterly disgusting" and announced that he was personally going to remove the vandalism himself.
He said: "I am absolutely disgusted. I am about to go and take it down this minute.
"What sort of inhumane response is this to the current crisis?
"We have these ongoing problems and it is utterly disgusting for anybody to put signs like this anywhere - it beggars belief.
"When someone is at their absolute lowest, to see a message like this could have the worst possible consequences."
A day of remembrance was held in June to commemorate all the people who tragically lost their lives to the River Clyde at Glasgow Green.
Organised by the River Clyde Memorial Group (RCMG) in conjunction with the ‘Think Again’ campaign , set up by Stef.
Stef added: "We now have Samaritans signage at all bridges, thanks to the Think Again campaign and we await the installation of Emergency Lifeline Telephones in Glasgow in the very near future.
"Bereaved families have worked incredibly hard throughout our two year campaign and there’s the all new and flourishing Think Again Lighthouse Group.
"This message left on the Clyde has shocked me to the core and charges should be brought against the individual when caught."
