An elderly man was robbed and assaulted on a Glasgow street.
The incident took place in the Springburn area on Tuesday, 31 October, at around 6.40pm when a 74-year-old man was walking at the junction of Valleyfield Street and Flemington Street when he was approached from behind by two men who pulled him to the ground.
One of the men assaulted him whilst the other man robbed him of a carrier bag which contained a black leather jacket and computer supplies he had just bought, and a two-figure sum of cash. They then both ran off in the direction of Atlas Road.
The injured man was taken by ambulance to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he was treated for head and facial injuries.
Detectives have been carrying out enquiries in the local area including house to house enquiries and gathering CCTV footage to glean more information on the two men responsible.
