Appeal following serious assault – Cadder, Glasgow

Police are appealing for information after a man was seriously assaulted in Cadder, Glasgow, on Friday, 26 January 2024.

Around 3pm, a disturbance took place on Herma Street which resulted in an 18-year-old man being injured. He was treated at Glasgow Royal Infirmary and has since been discharged.

Detective Constable Kevin Ford, Maryhill CID, said:

“From our enquiries so far, we know that there had been an initial disturbance in the street, near the local primary school, involving the 18-year-old man, who was driving a car at the time, and one other man. A further incident has then taken place, again in Herma Street, involving the same two men and one other man. The two men attacked the 18-year-old in the garden of a house before one drove off in a silver/grey Jeep type car and the other walked away.

“This assault didn’t involve any pupil at the school; it happened as the school was coming out. There were a lot of people in the area at the time picking up children and I am sure someone there would have witnessed what happened.

“Officers have been checking CCTV and carrying out door-to-door enquiries since the attack, but would appeal to anyone not yet spoken to by police to come forward.”

The suspects are described as:

1. White, approximately 35-years-old, 6ft in height, has short blondish hair, and was wearing an all-blue tracksuit.
2. White, approximately 50-years-old, 5ft 11 in height, with grey hair and balding. He was wearing a red jacket.

Information can be passed to officers via 101. Please quote incident number 2150 of Friday, 26 January 2024 when calling. Details can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
