Murder attempt witness appeal

Police are appealing for two potential witnesses to what they say was an attempted murder in Glasgow to come forward.

Steven Daniel, 37, was left with serious facial wounds after two men attacked him with a blade in his car in the Port Dundas area of the city early on Thursday.

Mr Daniel, now in a stable condition in hospital, is a nephew of the late Jamie Daniel, whose family have been linked to gangland disputes, and police said the attack was “clearly targeted”.

Detectives are now appealing for two people thought to have witnessed the attack to get in touch.

Detective Inspector Jim Bradley said: “We potentially have two

eyewitnesses who will have seen this horrific incident and it is absolutely vital they come forward.

“We understand that it would have been a very frightening scene to witness, but your information could be absolutely crucial to our investigation and to helping us find these dangerous criminals.

“The victim was clearly targeted and I have no doubt that there are people who know who is responsible.

“I would appeal to these people to do the right thing and pass on their information to the police because these violent and reckless individuals have no place on our streets.”

Mr Daniel was so badly injured it was initially believed he had been shot, but further investigations found a bladed weapon had been used.
