A STABBING in Glasgow has been described as "racially motivated".
Between 12.20am and 12.45am on Tuesday, July 28, a 31-year-old man was attacked while cycling through Clyde Place.
The Glasgow Times previously reported that another man on a bike approached the victim and a verbal altercation broke out before he was seriously assaulted.
The man, a refugee from Yemen, was treated for stab wounds at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital before being discharged.
Now, the charity the United Yemeni Community in Scotland (UYCS) has condemned the attack, saying it was "racially motivated".
A spokesperson told Glasgow Live that the perpetrator shouted "go back to your home country" and said the victim has been left "physically and mentally severely shaken".
They said: "This violent assault was not just an attack on an innocent individual making his way home, but an assault on the core values of safety, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence that define Scotland.
"Our community members are proud, active contributors to Scottish society who deserve to live and travel freely without fearing for their safety."
The suspect is described as white, around 35 years old, about 6ft tall and of medium build, with a blonde beard.
He was wearing a black jacket with the hood up, carrying a black backpack, and was riding what has been described as a hire‑style bicycle.
Detective Constable Gilmour said officers are working to trace the suspect and urged anyone who saw the incident, or who has dash‑cam or private CCTV from the area, to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting reference 0140 of July 28, 2026, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
