COPS want to speak to a witness who may have been in contact with a man who was found with serious injuries in Maryhill.

The force admitted they are still investigating how the 55-year-old sustained his serious injuries after he was found in the Wyndford area at around 7.50pm on Tuesday, December 18.

He was found with head injuries in Ardessie Place.

He was taken by ambulance to Glasgow Royal Infirmary in a critical condition, and later transferred to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Medical staff now described his condition as stable.

Following enquiries officers now believe there was a man who may have tried to speak to him or help him before emergency services attended.

He is described as white, in his early 50s, around 5ft 9 inches to 6ft tall, of heavy build with short black and greying hair. He had a Glasgow accent and was clean shaven, with a scar on his right cheek. He was wearing a dark green khaki waterproof bomber style jacket and dark blue jeans.

Detective Inspector Craig McPhail, Maryhill Police Office, said: “We are keen to speak to the man described as he could have vital information that could help us with our enquiries into how this man came to be so seriously injured.

“We ask you to think back, were you in this area that night or do you know anyone matching this description who could have been?

“The person described may not have realised how seriously injured this man was at the time.”

Anyone with information should contact Police via 101, quoting incident number 3467 of Tuesday, 18 December 2018.
