A man has been taken to hospital after a targeted hit-and-run in the north of Glasgow.

Police Scotland said the 22-year-old pedestrian was struck by a car on Ashgill Road, Milton, at about 18:55 on Monday.

He was taken to the city's Royal Infirmary for treatment following the disturbance, which involved three vehicles.

A force spokesperson said: "From investigations so far, this is believed to be a targeted incident and there is no wider threat to the public."

BBC Scotland News understands detectives do not currently believe the incident is linked to the ongoing gang feud.

It has resulted in a series of assaults, shootings and firebombings in Glasgow and Edinburgh since March.

The spokesperson added "extensive inquiries were ongoing" to establish the circumstances and said officers would maintain a presence in the Milton area.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
