A KNIFE thug who tried to kill a man in a street attack was today being hunted by police.
The 40-year-old victim was repeatedly stabbed by his attacker during the brawl in Glasgow's East End.
Shocked neighbours in Budhill Avenue, Shettleston, are understood to have raised the alarm yesterday evening.
Emergency services, including police and paramedics, raced to the scene and found the seriously injured man lying in the road.
