MP Jo Swinson has spoke of her shock over a violent and targeted attack in Torrance - and has said the perpetrators must be brought to justice.
The East Dunbartonshire MP's comments come after we reported that a 30-year-old man was repeatedly stabbed during the broad daylight attack in the leafy village on Tuesday.
The victim was sitting in the passenger seat of the grey Vauxhall Combo van in Queens View where it meets Main Street when a dark or blue Audi stopped in front of the vehicle, blocking it in.
A number of men then got out of the Audi armed with knives, and proceeded to smash the passenger window and attack the victim.
The 34-year-old male driver of the van then made off from the scene before stopping at the ASDA on Kirkintilloch Road, Bishopbriggs, where an ambulance was called.
MP Swinson said: "I was shocked to hear about the brutal and targeted knife attack in Torrance yesterday. It is encouraging to hear that the injured man is now in a stable condition, and I hope that his recovery continues. The perpetrators must be brought to justice.
"The police have appealed to anyone who was in the area of Queens View yesterday evening and may have noticed a dark or blue Audi or anything suspicious, to get in touch by dialling 101."
