A police source has said that no criminality has been established after a young man was found injured in the street near an East Kilbride store on Friday evening.
Lanarkshire Live told how cops cordoned off an area outside the Premier shop on Melbourne Avenue at around 5.40pm on March 25 after reports of a "slashing" incident.
