A MAN suffered a head injury after getting caught up in a mass brawl in Cambuslang.
Police said the man, 47, "got caught up" in a large scale disturbance outside a pub on Main Street at 11.05pm on Friday.
The victim suffered a serious head injury and was taken to Hairmyres hospital in East Kilbride and then transferred to the Queen Elizabeth University hospital in Glasgow.
He is said to be in a serious but stable condition.
A 25 year old man was also injured during the disturbance but was released from Hairmyres Hospital after treatment.
Detective Constable Paul Mooney, of Cambuslang CID, said: “There appears to have been an altercation within the Wetherspoon’s bar on Main Street, Cambuslang, which subsequently spilled on to the street and where patrons from the pub and others outside became involved.
“We know from our inquiries that there were a number of people filming the incident outside the pub and that there were a number of cars in the road, so we are keen to get footage from either the phones or dash-cam which may assist us with our enquiries.”
Anyone with footage or information can contact Cambuslang CID via 101.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
