A 16-year-old boy was in hospital overnight after two people with weapons attacked him.
The incident happened at around 9.50pm on Friday in the Kings Park Avenue and Castlemilk Road areas of Glasgow.
Two armed males attacked the 16-year-old, leaving him injured and needing medical treatment. The victim ran to an address in Montford Avenue where emergency services were called.
He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment and was released yesterday morning.
Detective Sergeant Martin McKendrick from Cambuslang CID said: "Inquiries are at an early stage to establish the full circumstances surrounding this incident and officers are currently checking CCTV and speaking to people living locally.
"I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Kings Park Avenue and Castlemilk Road last night, who may have witnessed an altercation or anything else suspicious, to please come forward.
"In particular, I would like to speak to the person who called 101 to report that they saw two males in possession of weapons in the area."
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.
