A man has been taken to hospital after a serious assault on a busy Glasgow road.

Police and emergency services were called to Shettleston Road at around 8.30pm on Friday following reports that a man had been seriously injured.

The incident led to a section of Shettleston Road between Killin Street and Culross Street being closed for several hours, with Glasgow City Council advising drivers to seek alternative routes before confirming shortly after midnight that the road had fully reopened.

The man was taken to hospital for treatment and his condition is not yet known.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 8.30pm on Friday, 19 June, 2026, officers attended Shettleston Road, Glasgow, following the serious assault of a man.

“The man was taken to hospital for treatment.

“Enquiries are ongoing.”
