Man knifed after helping neighbour
The 22-year-old found his 54-year-old neighbour arguing with a group of four armed men who had apparently smashed the windows of his home in Oaktree Gardens in the Castlemilk area of Glasgow around 1.50am yesterday.
Two men from the group then chased the younger man who had intervened and attacked him with a bladed weapon. He suffered serious injuries and was rushed to Glasgow’s Victoria Infirmary where he is in a stable condition. The older man was treated for minor injuries.
