Blood-soaked Glasgow man with horrific wounds looked like he'd been 'hacked with machete'

A police investigation is underway after it's claimed a man looked like he'd been 'hacked with a machete' in Glasgow's east end last night.

The 35-year-old was pleading for help with a football top rolled up exposing horrific wounds in his back and shoulders. He was begging people to call police and attempting to gain access to a close on Shettleston Road, near Parkhead, around 7.10pm.

Cops raced to the scene with around eight police cars turning up and the close was cordoned off. An ambulance was also dispatched and the man was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
