They are interested in speaking with a group of women who helped the injured man.

Detective Constable John Fagan said: “We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area of Renfield Street at around 10pm that evening, who either witnessed the incident, or perhaps saw the suspect making off in a vehicle afterwards, this was the day of the Rangers v Celtic match at Ibrox stadium, which might help people remember where they were that night.

“We are specifically looking to speak with a group of women who helped the injured man immediately after the incident, and who may have seen the suspect get back in his vehicle.

“Anyone with information should contact police at Stewart Street via telephone number 101 quoting incident number 4225 of 29 August 2021. Alternatively calls can be made to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained.”
