Cops release pictures of two men as 'unprovoked' Glasgow serious assault probe continues

Detectives in Glasgow have released CCTV images of two men who they believe could help with enquiries into an "unprovoked" serious assault in the city.

A 20-year-old was approached and attacked by two men on Garnet Street, near Sauchiehall Street in the city centre, between 1.55 and 2.15am on Tuesday April 12 this year. He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary after incurring what cops described as "serious but non-life-threatening injuries".

An appeal for information, with descriptions of the assailants, was launched in the hours after the attack by cops who say the incident was "unprovoked". Earlier on Wednesday officers released images of two men who are believed to hold information that is vital to the investigation into the attack.

The first male is described as white, around 5ft 10ins tall with short dark hair. He was wearing a blue North Face jacket and black trousers, and has previously been suggested as speaking with a Glaswegian accent.

The second male is described as white, around 6ft tall, with dirty blonde hair and a distinctive beard, which was short at the sides and long in the middle. He was wearing glasses and dark coloured clothing at the time.

Members of the public who recognise either man or have any information relating to their identities have been urged to contact the police as soon as possible.

Detective Constable Larissa Cooper of City Centre Police Station, said: “I would urge the men pictured, or anyone who has information relating to them, to make contact with the police.

“If you have any information that can assist with our investigation then please call 101, quoting reference number 0226 of 12 April, 2022.

“Alternatively, make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
