A MAN has been stabbed during a vicious attack in Glasgow's East End.

The 32-year-old has been left with permanent scars following the assault in Dennistoun in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Cops say he was walking along Garfield Street near to Reidvale Street at around 4am when he was attacked by another man who ran across the road to get to him.

He sustained significant injuries to his face and upper body but managed to get himself to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he remains for treatment.

Medical staff describe his condition as serious but stable.

The suspect is described as white, of heavy build, wearing a t-shirt which was grey at the top, dark grey in the middle and black at the bottom, black jogging bottoms and black trainers.

Detective Constable Steven Slater, Shettleston CID, said: “We believe that the injured man was the intended victim, however, that makes no difference to our investigation.

“He was viciously attacked and according to medical staff his injuries will leave significant permanent scarring.

“Officers have been in the area today checking CCTV and speaking to neighbours but we still need people to come forward with information that will help us catch the man responsible.

“If you know, or have seen or heard anything that could assist our enquiry, then please contact the CID at Shettleston Police Station via 101.
