TWO brothers attacked a man leaving him with a shoe print on his face after an argument broke out in Glasgow city centre.
The male victim and two other people were walking towards the St Enoch Centre at around 5.45pm on September 28, 2023.

Shane McCann, 28, then punched the man in the face.
A short struggle took place which resulted in both men falling to the ground.
Brian McCann, 37, got involved kicking the man to the face causing bruising and leaving a shoe print marked on his face.
At this time the two people who were with the man became extremely distressed screaming for them to stop.
Police were contacted and shortly after traced the brothers at High Street.
Both were arrested and taken to London Road police station where they were cautioned and charged and made no reply.
