A man was rushed to hospital after being stabbed in the leg in a serious assault in the Possilpark area of Glasgow.

The incident happened on Wednesday (November 18) at around 6.50pm. Police Scotland were called to reports of an injured man in Ellesmere Street after being attacked by another man, who was not known to him.

Emergency services attended the scene and the 43-year-old victim was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary to be treated for the stab wound. He has since been discharged.

Officers are now appealing for witnesses or anyone with information about the attack to come forward.
