A man was seriously assaulted in Glasgow on Friday afternoon.

At around 3pm in Darnley, a man was on Waukglen Drive, near the avenue with Waukglen Avenue when a black, believed to be an Audi A3 pulled along side him.

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

Following the incident, the two men got back in the car and drove off.

The passenger was described as white, with short receding hair.

He was wearing a grey hooded top and black Lacoste tracksuit trousers.

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

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.
