The victim was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where he was treated for a broken ankle and facial injury.

“The city centre would have been busy at the time of the attack and therefore I’m anxious to speak to anyone who either witnessed the incident or anyone who may have seen the culprit afterwards.”
The culprit is described as white, around 5ft 9ins or 5ft 10ins, in his mid to late 30s with a stocky build and shaved head. He was wearing blue jeans and a blue jumper.
