A 13-year-old boy has been accused of trying to kill a man by stabbing and punching him.

The youngster appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of Jordan Harper at the Clyde Walkway in Glasgow.

It's alleged the schoolboy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, while acting with another person, repeatedly punched the 21-year-old on the head and repeatedly stabbed him on the body.

He appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff Court and made no plea.

The schoolboy faces another charge of being in possession of a knife and a third charge of throwing a jacket and knife into the River Clyde in an attempt to defeat the ends of justice.

Sheriff Andrew Cubie granted bail and the youngster is expected to return to court at a later date.
