Man stabbed in Glasgow city centre
A man was seriously assaulted in Friday 2 February 2018.
There is an appeal for information after a man was stabbed in Glasgow City Centre on Friday evening at 6.10 pm.
The 29 year old was standing outside a snooker club in Hope St, near to Argyle Street, Glasgow, when he was attacked and stabbed by a man he had struck up a conversation with.
The man's arm was seriously hurt and he was taken by ambulance to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he remains for treatment. Medical staff describe his condition as stable.
The attacker is descibed as white, large build, with short dark hair and wearing a navy blue jumper, black trousers and black trainers, ran off north on Hope Street, Glasgow.
Detective Constable Vicky Martin, Glasgow City Centre CID, said:
'The injured man had been with friends in the snooker hall and came out for a cigarette. Whilst outside, he got chatting to another man, who for whatever reason, became aggressive and then stabbed him.
'Thankfully his injuries are not life-threatening, as far as we are aware, however, for a meeting to turn from chatting to being stabbed is quite shocking.
'Just after 6pm on a Friday is a busy time and I have no doubt there would have been plenty people about who will have seen the attack take place.
'Officers are checking the CCTV from the area but I would ask that anyone who has information that will assist our enquiries contact the CID at Glasgow City Centre Police Station via 101. '
