Man is found hurt in car park

- BY CATHERINE HUNTER

A MAN has been found seriously injured in a Glasgow car park.

Officers were called to the joint NCP/Enterprise facility on Midland Street yesterday after the 50-year-old was discovered on the stairwell.

An area could be seen still sealed off by two officers at 3pm. Detectives are now trying to determine how the man came about his injuries and are urging anyone with informatio­n to come forward.

The man has since been taken to hospital for treatment.

A Police Scotland spokeswoma­n said: “We were called to a car park on Midland Street in Glasgow at around 7.15am on January 17 after a 50-year-old man was found in a stairwell with serious injuries Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstan­ces.”

ACAB driver who displayed false signs on his vehicle which indicated he worked for Network Private Hire has had his licence revoked. Uber signs were also found in the boot of Ummar Khalid’s vehicle after he was accused of stealing an 18-year-old woman’s iPhone as well as plying for trade.

Last June, Glasgow City Council’s enforcemen­t team received a letter of complaint from the teenager who had been celebratin­g her birthday.

Khalid’s friend had asked him to take the woman home to the Gorbals. The following morning she realised she had dropped her iPhone in the car but the “find my iPhone” app indicated that it was at Khalid’s address in Nitshill.

She and her mother went to the driver’s house but the phone was not in the car. Police were contacted as were Network who said they had never heard of Khalid. Officers searched the driver’s property but could not find the phone.

Khalid also claimed that the Uber signs were left over from a previous driver. The phone was eventually found in a bin at a nearby car wash.
