Detectives are appealing for information after a man and woman were assaulted in Rutherglen.
The incident took place around 12.05am on Sunday, September 19, on Cathcart Road with the suspect fleeing the scene in a Vauxhall Astra.
The victims - both 32 - were walking on Cathcart Road near its junction with Farie Street when they were approached by a man who assaulted them before making off.
A short time later, a Vauxhall Astra stops near the couple as they continue along Cathcart Road, and the same suspect gets out the passenger side.
He threatens them again before other members of the public intervened. Both victims were taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where the male was treated for a serious facial injury.
Detective Constable Stephen Gordon told Lanarkshire Live: “Our enquiries are continuing.
“At the time of this assault, Cathcart Road was busy and I would like to appeal to any witnesses to this attack and I would also like to appeal to those who came to the couple’s assistance to contact us."
The suspect is described as white, around 5ft 11ins in height, with short dark hair and was wearing a dark-coloured polo shirt and jeans at the time.
DC Gordon added: "Officers are viewing CCTV from in and around the local area to help trace the man responsible and the Vauxhall Astra he got out of.
“Anyone with information should contact Cambuslang Police Office through 101 quoting reference 2902 of 19 September."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101.
Information can also be left anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
