Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was 'deliberately' struck by a car in the Tollcross area of Glasgow on Boxing Day. 

The 32-year-old man was walking along Muiryfauld Drive next to Tollcross Park around 10.35am when a dark coloured car drove at him.

The victim was knocked over the perimeter fence of the Park and the vehicle then drove off at speed along Drumover Drive onto Tollcross Road.

Emergency services attended and the victim was taken by ambulance to Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He was treated for minor injuries and released.

Detectives are treating the incident as attempted murder.

“You may have been within the park at the time, or noticed a dark coloured car driving at speed, if you noticed anything at all suspicious then please come forward.

“I would also urge any motorists with dashcams who were in the area to check their footage in case they have captured anything which could be of significance to our enquiries.
