A man was attacked in a robbery attempt while taking cash from his business to a bank.
The 58-year-old was walking towards Allied Irish Bank on West George Street, Glasgow, at about 1.30pm yesterday when he was attacked from behind.
The businessman had just walked past a black BMW car that was parked on the street when a man who was leaning into the window of the car turned and assaulted him and tried to steal a backpack which contained a "substantial" amount of cash, Strathclyde Police said.
