A man has suffered serious facial injuries after two men drove up beside him in a car and attacked him with a metal pole.

At around 3pm on Friday, the man was walking in Waukglen Drive, near to its junction with Waukglen Avenue, Darnley when a black car drove up beside him.

The passenger of the car then got out and seriously assaulted the man with a metal pole.

The driver of the car, possibly an Audi A3, also got out the vehicle before both men returned to the car and drove off.

Following the attack, the victim was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he received treatment for serious facial injuries.

The suspect, armed with the pole, is described as white, with short receding hair and was wearing a grey hooded top and black Lacoste tracksuit trousers. 

Door to door enquiries have been carried out and detectives are checking CCTV footage from in and around the area for any additional information.

Detective Constable Mark Hendry said:“We have yet to establish a motive for this attack and the man involved has sustained a serious facial injury.

"I am appealing to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident to get in touch, any small piece of information regarding the suspects or the car could prove vital to our ongoing enquiries, helping us establish exactly what has happened and why.”

Anyone with information is asked to call offices at Helen Street Police Station via 101, quoting incident number 2875 of Friday 22 June 2018.
