A taxi driver is in hospital following a stab attack.
Two teenagers assaulted and robbed the 35-year-old after he picked them up in Easterhouse, Glasgow, on Saturday afternoon.
The attack happened at around 1.10pm in Baldragon Road as the driver was en route to Lochend Road.
He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary with stab wounds and is said to be in a stable condition.
The suspects, thought to be 18 or 19 years old, were picked up earlier from Dunphail Road.
They are described as white with dark hair and both wore blue jackets. They spoke with local accents and one of the men is said to have bushy eyebrows.
Detective Constable Alan Watt said: "This despicable attack took place just yards from local shops in Lochend Road.
"It's imperative we trace the two men responsible. I am appealing to local people in the area who may have seen something to contact us.
"If you have any information or knowledge regarding the suspects or the crime then please get in touch."
