Detectives launch MIPP following the attempted murder of a 41-year-old man in Maryhill

Detectives from Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team are continuing enquiries following the attempted murder of a 41-year-old man in Dalsholm Road, Maryhill on Saturday, 11 September, 2021.

As part of their ongoing enquiries, officers have set up an online portal to encourage members of the public to submit information.

The Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) is a website that gives people access to a form allowing them to send information directly to the major incident team based at Baird Street Police Station.

Extensive enquires are ongoing with officers continuing to review CCTV images and gathering information about the suspects and a black Ford Kuga care which was seen in the area at the time of the incident. 

Enquiries so far have established that two people got out of a car and attacked the 41-year-old man.  A further person, the driver, remained in the vehicle.

The two attackers were wearing dark clothing, dark baseball caps and both had high-viz yellow vests.

Officers believe this was a targeted attack and there is no threat to the wider public.

A Ford Kuga car was later found burnt out on a cycle path near Kelso Street and Dumbarton Road. This vehicle has been seized by police and is undergoing a meticulous examination to maximise all forensic opportunities.

Detective Chief Inspector Alan McAlpine said: “We continue to speak to family, friends and known associates of the victim for any information which could help us identify the attackers. We have received very little information from the public regarding this incident and I hope the introduction of the public portal will encourage people to provide information. The victim remains in hospital and although he is in a stable condition, he has suffered significant injuries and it’s imperative we trace whoever is responsible for the attack.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland, quoting incident number 2595 of Saturday, 11 September, 2021.  Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where you can give your information anonymously.
