A man 'stabbed' during a mass brawl in Glasgow's city centre is still fighting for his life, the Evening Times has now been told.
The 47-year-old was rushed to hospital after allegedly being stabbed in the neck during the disturbance on Blackfriars Street on Sunday.
Eyewitnesses described how the man 'slumped' against a wall after being attacked while horrified families looked on.
Emergency services rushed to the scene and the victim was transferred to hospital.
His condition was later described as critical by medical staff.
Sources earlier said the man had died, but it has now been confirmed the man is still alive.
Police today said they were treating the incident as attempted murder.
Two other men, aged 29 and 30, were also taken to the nearby Royal Infirmary Hospital with serious injuries.
Murder cops scoured the scene this afternoon as the entire section of Albion Street remained sealed off.
A number of businesses were closed following the incident.
Police Scotland have been contacted for comment.

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
