THREE teenage boys were stabbed in an early morning attack.
The teenagers, aged 16, 17 and 18, were assaulted by a gang of up to five youths in Castlemilk at 5am on Sunday.
The trio were walking along Dunagoil Street near to its junction with Ardencraig Road when they were set upon.
All three were rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and treated for stab wounds.
The 16-year-old and the 18-year-old were released after treatment. The 17-year-old is still in hospital but staff there describe his condition as stable.
Detective Constable Michael MacKinnon of Cathcart Police Office said today: “At this time, the only description of those responsible are that they are male youths.
"Officers are continuing to carry out enquiries and check CCTV footage to gather more information on them.
“I would ask witnesses to the attack, or anyone with information on those responsible to contact Police Scotland on 101.
"Alternatively CRIMESTOPPERS can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
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.

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.
