Detectives investigating an incident in which a man was attacked at Glasgow Central railway station are urgently appealing for witnesses or anyone with information.

Officers were called to the station at 4.45am this morning (18 March) following reports of a serious assault.

Paramedics also attended, and a 31-year-old man was treated at the scene for head and face injuries.

DI Marc Francey said: “This was a particularly nasty attack that could have resulted in more severe injuries for the victim and must have caused significant distress to those who witnessed it.

“We are keen to speak to anyone that was in Glasgow Central station or at the taxi rank on Gordon Street between 4am and 5am this morning to assist us with our enquiries.”
