Man left with serious injuries after daylight assault by four men in Springburn back garden

A man was rushed to hospital after being seriously assaulted by four men in a back garden.

The 34-year-old was in the garden in the Springburn Way area on Thursday (May 28) at 3.50pm.

The four suspects arrived in a dark-coloured car, parking it in the residents’ car park, before three returned to the vehicle and fled at speed, in the direction of Atlas Road. The final suspect ran away in the same direction.

Emergency services attended and the victim was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary with serious injuries. He has since been released.

Police Scotland are now appealing for witnesses following the incident.

Three of the suspected have been described to police.

The first man is described as white, of a medium build, bare chested with black trousers and black trainers.

The second is white, wearing a black hooded top and Skip cap.

The third is described as white, wearing a Nike t-shirt and shorts.

Detective Constable Andrew Barbour, from Maryhill CID, said: “This type of violent behaviour is completely unacceptable and officers are carrying out extensive door-to-door and CCTV enquiries to trace those responsible.

“We know that there were members of the public around the area at the time and are appealing for people to please come forward, whether you have seen the assault take place or the vehicle used by the suspects.

“Our enquiries have so far shown a large volume of private and commercial vehicles traveling along the street at the time, so please review any dashcam footage and contact Police Scotland.”

Anyone with information is urged to call Police on 101, quoting incident 2425 of 28 May. Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.”
