Two men assaulted and robbed in 'shockingly unprovoked' Glasgow street attack

A 20 and 34-year-old man were assaulted and robbed in what police say was a "shockingly unprovoked" attack, on Saturday, June 17.

The pair were walking along Maryhill Road, between the junctions with Northpark Street and Garscube Road, when they were approached by two men at around 5.10pm.

The thugs made off on foot on Northpark Street after carrying out the alleged assault and robbery. The 34-year-old victim was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment and later discharged while the 20-year-old was unhurt.

Police have launched an investigation into the alleged incident and have shared an appeal, hoping to trace the suspects.

Detective Sergeant Stephen Palmer of CID said: “This appears to have been a shockingly unprovoked and random attack.

“We are keen to trace two men; one is described as slim, wearing grey shorts, a black hooded jumper, and dark trainers. The second man is described as having dark hair, of medium build, and wearing black shorts, a black T-shirt, and white trainers.

"We're asking for anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information to please come forward. We would also like to hear from any motorists with dash-cam footage; you may have captured something that could assist our investigation.”
