Glasgow charity rush to aid of man and woman after unprovoked attack on Argyle Street

A Glasgow charity rushed to assist a man and woman after they were attacked on Argyle Street by a male.

Homeless Project Scotland volunteers provided the pair with first aid after a man assaulted both of them outside the charity's unit at 11.09pm on Friday night.

CCTV footage shows the pair standing in the street when a passer-by, with a bottle in hand, tries to provoke the female by shouting in her face. The male attempts to create space between the female and the thug but he is met with a lunging punch to the face.

The assailant then turns his attention to the female and proceeds to punch her in the head.

This comes a week after CCTV caught two men tipping over food laid out by the charity for the homeless.

A spokesperson from Homeless Project Scotland said: "Last week it was food crashed to the ground this week, it’s members of the public minding there own business and getting attacked.

"Homeless Project Scotland volunteers provided first aid and supported the people who where assaulted and they where advised it was best to report it to the police.

"We really need a building to bring people inside to a warm safe space. We hope people decide to donate instead of show hate."

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 1.45 pm on Saturday, 4 March 2023, a report was made to police with regard to the assault of a woman and man on Argyle Street, under the Central Station Bridge, on Friday, 3 March 2023, around 11.10 pm. Enquiries in to the incident are ongoing."
