A man fell onto the tracks and was knocked unconscious at a subway station in Glasgow last night after he was jumped by 10 yobs.

The 53-year-old and his 22-year-old daughter were assaulted at Buchanan Street Subway station at around 9.30pm.

The group shouted abuse at the pair on the platform before they attacked him, causing him to fall onto the tracks.

Officers from the British Transport Police are now hunting the suspect who fled the scene following the incident.

The victim was helped back onto the platform by members of the public.

He was taken to hospital by ambulance where his injuries are not life-changing or life-threatening.

His daughter also attended hospital to be checked over, thankfully she wasn’t seriously injured.

British Transport Police described the suspect as a white man in his late twenties, of medium build, and around 6ft tall.

He was unshaven with dirty blonde hair, wearing a white t-shirt with an emblem on the sleeve and dark ripped jeans. He also had tattoos on his arms.

The group left the station at around 9.40pm from the North exit.
