DETECTIVES are investigating a suspicious death after a man was seriously injured in a street disturbance in Glasgow.
Police and emergency services were called to the incident outside a property in the north of the city.
The 20-year-old was found seriously injured and taken by ambulance to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he later died.
The attack happened at 3.45pm on Friday outside a property in Bardowie Street, Possilpark.
Police Scotland said a post-mortem examination will be carried out to establish the exact cause of death, which is being treated as suspicious by officers. A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
Officers are conducting door-to-door enquiries in an effort to find out additional information. They are also examining CCTV in the area and will carry out extra patrols to reassure residents.
Detective Inspector Grant Durie, from the major investigation in Govan, said: "We are treating the incident as suspicious and extensive enquiries are currently ongoing.
"Specialist forensic teams have been active around the area and detectives and officers have been carrying out door-to-door enquiries to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
"At this time, I would ask for the assistance of the local community in determining what took place yesterday afternoon. It is possible that you heard or witnessed a disturbance on Bardowie Street and if so I would ask you to contact police immediately.
"Any information received will greatly assist us in determining how this young man lost his life."
