POLICE are appealing for information after a young car wash worker was attacked with “machetes” by two men in a stolen car.

At around 3.30pm on July 19, two men in a stolen dark blue Mini One stopped adjacent to 431 Keppochhill Road, near Springburn, and made their way into a nearby car valeting premises.

They then attacked a 19-year-old man working within the premises with bladed weapons, “possibly machetes,” said detectives.

The attackers then made off, driving erratically, forcing a dark blue Nissan Micra to brake sharply to avoid a crash.

The victim was taken to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment to injuries to his upper body and leg and has since been released.

The suspects are described as wearing dark clothing with hoods covering their faces.

The stolen car was later recovered in Langmuirhead Road, in Auchinloch, at around 10.55pm that night.
