Police are hunting a gang of men after an attack on three people in Glasgow.

Officers are treating an assault on a 30-year-old man as attempted murder. His condition has been described as "serious".

They are also investigating attacks on two other men, aged 19 and 46. A police spokesman said the incident involved six or seven men.

It happened in Blairdardie Road, Knightswood, at about 2040 BST on Monday.

The 30-year-old man is being treated for serious injuries at the Southern General Hospital.
