A MAN was battered by a would-be thief during a walk in a city graveyard.
The 44-year-old man was walking through the Necropolis at 3.30am on Sunday June 11 when he was approached by a man.
The yob demanded his property and attacked him before leaving empty-handed.
The victim was left with face and head injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.
Police have now issued CCTV footage of a man they want to trace in connection with the incident, whose name may be Colin.
He is described as 30-35 years old, around 5ft 10 - 11inches tall, with a medium build and short red or brown hair.
He was wearing a navy hoodie with light blue sleeves and hood, with the word Henley printed on the front, as well as a pair of dark-coloured trousers.
Constable Scott Spinks of Greater Glasgow Division's Community Investigations Unit said: "The 44 year-old man received head and facial injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.
"I would urge anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV images, or anyone with information regarding this crime to contact the Community Investigations Unit based at Govan through 101, quoting reference number 1191 of the 11th of June 2017.
"Alternatively CRIMESTOPPERS can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained."
