'Hammer attack' on Glasgow street captured in shocking picture

A shocking image has shown what appears to be a violent attack involving a hammer in the east end of Glasgow.

The harrowing scene was witnessed in broad daylight this Saturday on Westmuir Street, on the road in front of the Parkhead Schoolhouse.

A picture shared by community Facebook group No1Seems2Care shows three men, all dressed in black, with one of them appearing to threaten another with a hammer.

Eyewitnesses have reportedly said a knife was also used in the sickening incident, as distressed members of the public looked on.

"Locals say a knife and a hammer was allegedly used during the incident whilst members of the public watched on in horror."

The caption also questioned where police were at the time amid calls for better funding and resources.

Glasgow Live reached out to Police Scotland for comment, however we were advised the incident didn't appear to have been reported to the police.
