TWO thugs armed with a knife punched a vulnerable man with learning difficulties before robbing him.
The shocking attack happened at around 11pm on Friday, May 26.
Police say the 32-year-old man was standing at a bus stop near Calderwood Square when he was approached by two men who threatened him with a knife. 
The men then punched the victim and robbed him before making their way towards Maxwellton Road.
Emergency services were called, and the victim was taken to Hairmyres Hospital and released after treatment.
The first man is described as white, in his mid teens or early 20s, 5 ft 6 inches, and he was wearing a white t-shirt and dark coloured bottoms.
The second man is described as white, in his mid teens or early 20s, slim, 5ft 8 inches, and he was wearing a dark coloured tracksuit.
Detective Constable Stuart Burnside, from Cambuslang CID, said: “These despicable individuals preyed on a vulnerable man who clearly could not stand up for himself and has been left absolutely traumatised by what happened.
“This type of abhorrent behaviour will not be tolerated and extensive enquiries are underway to find these criminals and hold them to account for their cowardly actions.
“I would appeal to anyone who was in the surrounding area late on Friday night, who may have witnessed the incident or may have seen two men matching the above descriptions, to please get in touch.
“Anyone with information can contact officers at Cambuslang CID via 101 and quote incident number 5995 of the 26th May 2017. Alternatively you can call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence.”
