A woman has suffered a badly broken ankle after she was assaulted while out celebrating her 21st birthday in Glasgow.
She was in the upstairs area of a casino on the Broomielaw in the early hours of Sunday morning when she walked past a table of men, one of whom kicked her on the leg, causing her to fall.
Victim left with double fracture to her ankle
The victim was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where she was treated for a double fracture to her ankle and later released.
The suspect is described as white Scottish, between 25 and 30 years old, around 6ft tall, with short dark brown hair. He was wearing light blue jeans, a black t-shirt, a red jacket and dark coloured shoes.
The casino was packed with people out to watch Tyson Fury’s boxing match against Deontay Wilder at the time, and it’s hoped witnesses will be able to help identify the man responsible.
Detective Constable Graham Nicolson from Glasgow City Centre CID said:
"A completely unprovoked assault"
“This was a completely unprovoked assault on the victim, who had been out celebrating her 21st birthday. As a result of this horrible act, she has been left with a serious broken ankle which will require significant physio and outpatient appointments.
“The casino was busy at the time of the incident due to the Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder boxing match and it is vital we speak to any witnesses in order to trace the man responsible and hold him accountable.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland through 101, quoting incident number 1393 of Sunday, 10 October, 2021. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
