CCTV images have been released of a man police wish to speak to as part of an investigation into an assault and attempted robbery in a Victorian cemetery.

A 44-year-old man was in the Necropolis in Glasgow when he was assaulted and threatened by a man who demanded his property.

The victim suffered head and facial injuries during the assault and was taken to hospital for treatment.

The man made off empty handed.

The incident took place at around 3.30am on the morning of Sunday, June 11.

Police are looking to trace a man described as white, between 30-35 years-old and 5ft 10ins in height with a medium build.

He had short red or brown hair and was wearing a navy hooded top with light blue sleeves and a hood with 'Henley' printed on the front.

He was also wearing dark-coloured trousers and is possibly known as Colin.

Officers believe the man pictured in the CCTV images may be able to assist them with their enquires.

Constable Scott Spinks of Greater Glasgow Division's Community Investigations Unit said: "The 44 year-old man received head and facial injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.

"I would urge anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV images, or anyone with information regarding this crime to contact the Community Investigations Unit based at Govan through 101, quoting reference number 1191 of June 11, 2017."
