Three injured as car mounts pavement in 'attempted murder' outside Glasgow pub

Three people are injured after a car mounted the pavement in a suspected attempted murder.

The trio were leaving a pub in Glasgow when a car hit them following a reported disturbance.

A man and woman remain in hospital while another man was released after treatment following the incident in Glasgow.

The two men, aged 25 and 28, and 63-year-old woman left the Pig 'n' Whistle pub on McNeil Street on foot before being struck by a car on Old Rutherglen Road a short time later.

Police were called to a disturbance at the pub earlier in the evening and are trying to establish whether the incidents are linked.

All three victims were taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where the woman and 28-year-old man remain in a stable condition.

Detective Sergeant Keith Runcie, of Cathcart Police Office, said: "The car had driven up on to the pavement and therefore we are treating this incident as attempted murder.
