Parents 'brutally attacked' in front of their kids near canal in Drumchapel

Police are hunting those responsible for the 'brutal' attack of a couple in front of their children in Drumchapel.

The family were sitting on a grassy bank on Blairdardie Road around 5.10pm on April 17 when they were seriously assaulted.

A 26-year-old woman and 30-year-old man were rushed to hospital with serious head and back injuries following the attack.

Police are now looking to speak to a group of teenagers who were in the area at the time of the incident before making off towards the canal path and towards Garscadden Road.

In particular, they believe that a teenage boy and two teenage girls may be able to help with enquiries. The boy is described as aged 13 to 17 with brown hair and was wearing a bright yellow T-shirt and dark jogging bottoms.

Both girls are described as aged 12 to 15. One had long, dark hair in a ponytail and was wearing a dark T-shirt and black Adidas joggers with three stripes down the outside leg. The other girl had long blonde hair in a ponytail and was wearing a dark top, denim shorts or a short skirt, and white trainers.

Detective Inspector Kenny McDonald said: “This family were enjoying an afternoon in the sunshine when the parents were brutally attacked and we are keen to speak to anyone with information that can help our investigation.

“We know there were groups of younger teenagers around at the time, as well as older youths, some of whom may have been drinking. It is important that we speak to those who were there as they may have information that can assist our enquiries.

“There is also continued anti-social behaviour in this area and officers are carrying out patrols. We will not tolerate this kind of behaviour and work towards bringing those responsible to justice and make our communities safer places.”
