This is the moment a violent thug launched an unprovoked attack on a young woman and man near Glasgow train station.

Shocking footage shows the man viciously punching the pair as they stood outside the offices of a charity in Argyle Street, near Glasgow Central train station.

The incident, which took place at around 11pm on Friday night, is alleged to have left the pair with a ‘sore head’ and ‘sore face’, with the police now believed to be involved.

CCTV footage shows a man, who can be seen carrying a bottle, stagger past the pair, before turning around and facing up to the young woman.

He continues to follow her in an aggressive manner as she tries to get away, before she pushes him away and her male friend tries to intervene.

The thug then launches a vicious attack, punching the young man in the head and throwing a second punch at him as his victim staggers back.

He then turns around and hits the woman in the head, causing her to drop her phone on the floor, before moving out of shot.

The man and woman were helped by volunteers from local charity Homeless Project Scotland, who gave them first aid. 

Footage of the attack  shared on social media has been viewed more than 2million times on Twitter, with a man claiming to be the woman’s uncle saying: ‘This d**k attacked my niece and her pal for no reason.’

He added that his niece had a ‘sore head’ and her friend a ‘sore face’, before adding the police will be ‘visiting her on Wednesday, thankfully Homeless Project Scotland were fantastic with them’.

A spokesperson from Homeless Project Scotland told GlasgowLive: ‘Last week it was food crashed to the ground this week, it’s members of the public minding there own business and getting attacked.

‘Homeless Project Scotland volunteers provided first aid and supported the people who where assaulted and they where advised it was best to report it to the police.

‘We really need a building to bring people inside to a warm safe space. We hope people decide to donate instead of show hate.’

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: ‘Around 1.45 pm on Saturday, 4 March 2023, a report was made to police with regard to the assault of a woman and man on Argyle Street, under the Central Station Bridge, on Friday, 3 March 2023, around 11.10 pm. Enquiries in to the incident are ongoing.’
