The 23-year-old was taken to the city’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment.

“I would urge anyone who was in the area of Kingsacre Road last night who witnessed anything suspicious, or who has any information that may assist police inquiries to contact us through 101 with reference number 3155.
