Man in hospital after being 'slashed' in brutal attack at Scots property

A 40-year-old man was rushed to hospital with slash injuries following a blade attack in Rutherglen.

Emergency services were called to the assault in Greenhill Road shortly before 9.30pm on Tuesday.

Police said the victim was taken to hospital where his condition was assessed as non life-threatening.

It is believed the man was found injured inside a property in the street.

One passer said a door inside was "properly battered" but still just on the hinges, with part of the glass of it smashed.

Locals also reported seeing a large police presence in the area last night.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We were called at 9.27pm on Tuesday, 2 November to reports of an assault in Greenhill Road, Rutherglen. Officers attended along with the Scottish Ambulance Service.

“A 40-year-old man was found with slash injuries. He was taken to hospital where his condition was assessed as not life-threatening.

“Enquiries are ongoing. At this early stage of the investigation, there have been no arrests. Any witnesses are asked to call police on 101 quoting reference 4103/02Nov. To remain anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
