Teen 'slashed' in Glasgow city centre attack as cops hunt culprits

Police have launched an investigation after a teenager was slashed in Glasgow.

Detectives are appealing for information after the 18-year-old suffered lacerations following the attack in the city centre during the early hours of this morning.

Cops were called to a report of a disturbance on Sauchiehall Street, near to Hope Street at around 1.55am.

Police and ambulance crews attended and the teenager was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he is being treated by doctors. His condition is described as stable.

The first suspect is described as white with short, dark hair. He was wearing a black bubble jacket with the hood up and black jogging trousers. He wore a yellow band on his wrist.

The second suspect is described as white with short, dark hair. He was wearing a grey t-shirt, black jogging trousers and black trainers. He wore a yellow band around his wrist.

Detective Constable John Fagan of City Centre Police Office said: “Enquiries are ongoing to trace those involved in this disturbance and establish the circumstances surrounding this attack.

“We believe that this incident may be linked to an earlier disturbance in the Savoy nightclub and officers are carrying out enquiries to establish more information to confirm those involved had been in the nightclub earlier. Officers are continuing to check CCTV footage in relation to this crime.

“This is a very busy area and I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Sauchiehall Street in the city centre who witnessed anything suspicious, or who has any information that will assist our investigation to contact officers through 101 quoting reference 0493 of 10 July.

"Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
