A man has been left badly shaken after his car was stolen by a knife-wielding thug in Glasgow's east end.

The 30-year-old was sitting in his blue Jaguar XF when he was threatened by the armed suspect in London Road, near Abercrombie Street, at 11am this morning.

The suspect is described as white and of a muscular build wearing a black baseball cap and dark coloured jacket.
