A man has been left seriously injured after he was allegedly attacked by a group carrying weapons in Rutherglen last night.

We previously reported that a man had been assaulted on Skye Road at around 9.20pm yesterday.

Police have this evening revealed that a black coloured car was 'deliberately' driven at the 29-year-old before a 'number of people' exited the vehicle and 'attacked' him.

Cops are now appealing for witnesses of the incident as their investigations continue.

Detective Constable Cameron Owen, of Lanarkshire CID, said: “The victim remains in hospital where he is receiving treatment for serious injuries.

“I would appeal to anyone who was in the area to get in touch. I would also appeal to motorists who have dash-cam footage that may have captured something which could prove vital to our ongoing enquiries to make contact with us.
