A teenager was raced to hospital after being seriously assaulted by three youths in an east end street last night.
The 16-year-old had been walking with his two 16-year-old friends on Dalmarnock Road at around 10:20pm when they became involved in an argument with another group. His companions ran off and the gang assaulted him.
Emergency services were called and he was taken to the Royal Infirmary, where he was treated for a head and arm injury but later released.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
