Police are appealing for the victim who fled an attack in a taxi in the east end of Glasgow to come forward.

Detectives have launched an investigation following a serious assault in Carntyne in the early hours of Sunday.

The victim was injured in a disturbance at a house in Penicuik Way at around 4am.

The man, believed to be in his mid-20s to early 30s, suffered a head injury but did not contact the emergency services and instead got into a taxi and was dropped off in Penilee.

Officers are keen to speak to the man to ensure he is safe and well. He is described as white, with a slim build, around 5ft 6in or 5ft 7in with short dark hair.

He was wearing a black leather bomber jacket and dark coloured jeans.

Officers have traced the taxi driver and confirmed the victim was dropped off in Kinsail Drive, Penilee.

Detective constable Jennifer Carey said: "We are in the process of establishing the circumstances of what has happened in the house where the disturbance took place.

"We are also continuing to carry out door-to-door enquiries and check CCTV footage for any additional detail which would assist our investigation.

"We are making every effort to try and trace the injured man and I'm appealing for him to contact us so that we can be assured he is all right."
