Man, 21, in hospital after attack

A YOUNG man was in a stable condition in hospital last night after a "senseless" attack by a group of men as he walked to some shops.

The 21-year-old was stabbed and suffered a head injury after being assaulted as he walked along London Road in the east end of Glasgow.

The victim made his way to Kerr Street and managed to contact the emergency services. He was taken by ambulance to the city's Royal Infirmary.

Strathclyde Police said there appeared to be no clear motive for the assault, which happened at around 8:30pm on Friday.

Officers said the suspects made off in an unknown direction.

They are described as being around 20 years old and they were all dressed in dark clothing.

Police have been speaking to nearby residents and businesses, as well as checking CCTV footage from the area.
