A MAN was attacked with an open razor outside a Glasgow primary school yesterday as hundreds of children were leaving Christmas parties.
The attacker slashed the man three times on the face as pupils, clutching Christmas presents, left Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School in Tarfside, Cardonald, on the city's South Side.
Primary three to seven pupils leaving the school at 3.15pm were said to have been shocked as blood poured from the victim's face.
He had been waiting with the mother of a pupil outside the school when he was approached by another man. One mother of two children at the school said the men became involved in a row outside the school's gates. It is believed the argument was over drugs.
Strathclyde Police last night said: ''There was a fight involving two men. Inquiries are continuing.''
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
