A man was taken to hospital with serious injuries after his head was stamped on during a violent attack.

The 23-year-old victim was assaulted by a man and a woman in Gartcraig Road, Glasgow, at around 11.50pm on Thursday.

The man was walking alone, near to the Ladbrokes bookmakers, when he was approached by the attackers.

Words were exchanged between both parties before the victim was punched, kicked and had his head stamped on.

He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary and released after treatment for serious head and facial injuries.

The couple responsible were last seen making off in the direction of Warriston Street.

Both wore dark clothing, while the dark-haired woman was also wearing a baseball cap and hooped earrings.

Officers are currently carrying out door-to-door enquiries in the local area and are reviewing CCTV footage to identify those involved.

Detective sergeant Colin Thapar said: "Gartcraig Road is a busy road and I am sure there would have been other people in the area or motorists driving past.

"If you recognise the description of the man and woman or have dashcam footage of the incident, please get in touch as soon as possible."
