A person was rushed to hospital after being seriously assaulted on a Glasgow train.

British Transport Police were alerted to the attack on board a train travelling between Glasgow Queen Street and Garrowhill stations shortly before noon on Friday.

Detectives say they are keen to speak to three teenage boys who were on the train at the time. They are described as white, 13–15 years old, all wearing black face coverings and jogging bottoms, while one is reported to have been wearing a black balaclava.

They are understood to have left the train at Bellgrove Station.
