A man is fighting for his life after being the target of a murder bid in a Glasgow street.

The 28-year-old victim was attacked in Glentyan Drive in the city's Pollok area on Wednesday.

Emergency services attended and the man was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital around 5.15pm. His condition is described as critical but stable.

Police are treating the incident as attempted murder.

Detective Sergeant Dougie Stevenson said: "From the man's injuries, it's clear he has been seriously assaulted, however at this stage we don't know why the man was targeted.

"We are in the process of piecing together the circumstances of the attack and I am appealing to people living in the area for their assistance - can you think back to the time of the incident and consider if you saw or heard anything?

"Perhaps you heard a disturbance, some shouting, anything which seemed a little odd? If you have any information, then please do contact us and pass it on."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police via 101.
