A 19-year-old man and a 10-year-old boy have been “left badly shaken” after a car was deliberately driven at them in Glasgow.

Police have launched an attempted murder probe following the incident, which happened at around 8.30pm on Wednesday night on Burnett Road in the Barlanark area of Glasgow.

The boy and teenager were not injured in the incident.

Officers have been checking CCTV footage for any additional information and have carried out door-to-door enquiries. 

Detective Constable Sarah Steven said: “The motive for this crime is not known, however, we believe that the attack was targeted.  I am appealing to the local community in trying to identify the suspect.  I’m sure there is information out there which would assist our investigation and I would urge people to pass it on.  

“I would also ask motorists with dash cams to check their footage, it’s possible they have images which could assist enquires.” 

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3595 of 14 April.  Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
