A man was stabbed in the east end yesterday afternoon as he made his way along Duke Street.

The 46-year-old was walking near to Barrack Street at around 12.50pm (Saturday, July 6) when he became involved in a fight with another man, which resulted in him being brutally attacked.

He was taken by ambulance to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he remains for treatment.

Medical staff describe his condition as stable.

Detective Constable Gill Alexander, Shettleston CID, said: "There were a lot of people around the area at the time of the incident so it’s possible someone might have seen the assault or indeed the suspect making off along Duke Street towards Bellgrove Street afterwards.

“The suspect is described as white, of thin/gaunt appearance, short black hair. He was wearing a black jacket, possibly a leather one.

“Any witnesses to the attack or anyone who recognises the description of the suspect can contact Shettleston CID via 101 quoting reference number 1999 of the 6 July 2019. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted in confidence on 0800 555 111.”
