Man assaulted in ‘targeted attack’

A man who was seriously assaulted by four men on a street in Glasgow’s Easterhouse may have been the victim of targeted attack, police believe.

The 29-year-old is being treated in hospital following the incident in Wardie Road at 9.20pm on Saturday. He was talking with a friend on a grass verge when his attackers pulled up in a blue Volkswagen car.

The vehicle was found on fire in Sandymount Cemetery 20 minutes later. Police said the car was stolen in Edinburgh.
