Two men have been seriously assaulted in an "unprovoked attack" while they were trying to enjoy a night out in Glasgow.
The incident occurred between the Holland Street and Pitt Street junctions of Sauchiehall Street in the city centre on Sunday August 1.
The pair, both aged 23, were approached by a group of three men at around 12.20am and assaulted them, causing serious head injuries.
At the time they were taken to hospital, but both have since been released and the assault was then reported to Police Scotland on Thursday August 26.
The first suspect has been described as a white male, in his late teens to early 20s, with a stocky build and wearing a dark puffer jacket.
