A thug carried out a brutal murder bid on a man who feared he was going to die.

Daniel Woods and an accomplice turned on Anthony Quinn at a flat in Glasgow's Drumchapel on February 23 2024.

The victim was repeatedly stabbed and kicked leaving him needing emergency treatment in hospital.

He ended having to get almost 100 stitches and staples removed for a number of horror wounds.

Woods, 32, initially could not be traced by police probing the attack and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

But, he today appeared at the High Court in Glasgow where - via his KC Brian McConnachie - he pleaded guilty to an attempted murder charge.

Woods will be sentenced next month.

Prosecutor Lucy Adams told how the victim believed the two men who had come to the flat were there to speak to his partner.

He then went into the kitchen only to be followed by the assailants.

Woods had his jacket on with the hood up.

Miss Adams said: "Woods headbutted Anthony Quinn before pulling a knife and stabbing him repeatedly."

The attack continued with the victim now on the ground. The unknown accomplice also booted Mr Quinn on the body.

Miss Adams said: "Anthony Quinn later gave an account that, during the course of the assault, he thought he was going to die and his son would lose his father."

The blood-soaked victim also recalled screaming on his partner to call an ambulance after the attackers fled.

Mr Quinn asked the woman who the pair were and she gave Woods's name as one of them.

He was described as being in a "critical" condition when mercy crews arrived.

Mr Quinn had serious injuries to his neck as well as a number of lacerations to his head, arms and hand.

The victim - who ended up in intensive care - required two emergency blood transfusions.

He was in hospital for more than a week before being able to leave.

Miss Adams said a total of 67 staples and 26 stitches had to be removed from multiple injuries.

The hearing was told Mr Quinn has since passed away due to unrelated causes.

Lord Colbeck remanded Woods in custody as sentencing was deferred for reports.
