A domestic abuse thug was slashed and stabbed in a gangland pub ambush - as payback for an alleged attack on his girlfriend. The 25-year-old, who we have chosen not to name, was targeted in an attack at the Jenny Burn pub in Glasgow on Monday.
He was rushed to hospital after being slashed on the face and stabbed in the backside at the gastropub, which is just 500 yards away from a police office. It's understood the attack was carried out in the shadow of Police Scotland's Headquarters by a hitman for hire.
And detectives now probing the broad daylight attack believe it was carried out as payback over the victim's alleged domestic abuse of an ex - who is related to a well-known gangland figure. He is being prosecuted at both Hamilton and Glasgow sheriff courts and is due in the dock in connection with both cases in the next few weeks.
