Detectives have issued CCTV images of three people who could have witnessed an assault in Vauxhall last weekend.
At around 10.30pm on Saturday 27 May, emergency services were called to Fulton Street following reports that a man had been found unconscious after being assaulted.
The victim, a man in his 50’s, was taken to hospital for treatment for his injuries and he remains in a critical condition.
Detectives have arrested two people, a 15-year-boy and a 22-year-old man, on suspicion of section 18 wounding with intent. Both suspects have been released on conditional bail.
However, the investigation is ongoing and detectives have issued images of a man and two women they believe may have witnessed the attack and could assist with their investigation.
