Cops are now investigating the incident to find out what happened.

A statement issued this morning reads: "Around 10.20pm on Saturday 14 August 2021, police received a report a 45-year-old man had been found injured in Shieldhall Road, Glasgow.

"The man was taken to the QEUH for treatment to stab wounds. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of what happened. "

Online some locals have claimed there was 'lots of blood' after the apparent blade attack.

The street remained closed eastbound at Drumoyne Road for several hours, with video footage shared online showing several police vans lining the street. Local eyewitnesses also reported seeing a helicopter hovering above the area.

A heavy police presence was also reported at the nearby Fairfield Club in Crossloan Road at around midnight, though the two incidents are not thought to be related, reports Glasgow Live.
