A young man has been seriously injured in an assault at a flat in Glasgow's east end.

The 22-year-old victim was attacked by another man in a flat in St Mark Street, Shettleston, at around 3am on Monday.

The attacker is described as black, between 23 and 30 years of age, 6ft, of slim build, and when last seen was wearing blue jeans and a dark coloured bubble style jacket.

"We have been checking with neighbours as well as the CCTV to try and trace the man responsible but would also appeal to anyone who may have seen the suspect in the area yesterday morning."
