The attack took place on Seamill Street in Nitshill at around 10.30 pm on August 8, and the victim was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Detective Constable Stephen Findlay, Greater Glasgow CID, Govan, Glasgow, said: "From our investigation, it appears that the injured man had been at a house party in the street and had gone out onto the road where he is met by two other men and a fight takes place.

“He is then stabbed by one of the men who ran off afterwards. He managed to make his way back to a nearby garden where an ambulance was called.

"Officers have been making local enquiries and checking CCTV but we'd like to hear from anyone who was in the area and who saw what happened to get in touch. We are especially keen to hear from anyone who may have dash cam or mobile phone footage from the time of the incident.

"Obviously we would be keen to see any footage and so would ask that witnesses, or indeed anyone who may have information that will assist our enquiry, contact Govan Police Station via 101. Please quote reference number 4870 of Saturday, 8 August 2020. If you wish to remain
