Gang of thugs launch brutal attack on man in Glasgow leaving victim with 'serious head injury'

A man has been hospitalised with a serious head injury after being brutally attacked by a gang of thugs in Glasgow city centre.

Around 1.20am on Sunday, 6 February the 26-year-old was violently assaulted by a group of around 10 men after they approached him while he was walking along Sauchiehall Street, heading towards Buchanan Street.

The man was punched in the face - and the blow caused him to fall and strike his head on the ground.

The group of men then ran off onto Rose Street.

The victim suffered a serious head injury and was taken to hospital as a result.

The suspects are described as white and in their teens or early 20s. One suspect was described as wearing a black hooded top with a white motif on the chest, dark trousers and red trainers with white soles.

Cops are urging anyone who may have information on the incident to come forward.

Detective Constable Matthew McCann said: “I would appeal to anyone who was in the area around the time of this attack to contact us. I know people might think we have all the information we need but that is not the case.

"It’s important we have all the details, please contact us with any information you may have, it could lead us to identifying the men in the group.

“A young man has sustained a serious injury and it’s imperative we trace those responsible for the attack. We are continuing to view relevant CCTV footage from the local area, however, I would urge anyone who was on Sauchiehall Street or Rose Street at the time, who has any personal footage that may assist our investigation, to contact us.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland via 101 quoting incident number 0377 of 6 February. 2022.

Alternatively Crimestoppers can be called on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.
