Fury as homeless man 'left to freeze' on Glasgow street as he pleaded 'I can't feel my face'

A homeless man begged for help after fearing hypothermia as he was left on a cold, wet Glasgow street.
The rough sleeper complained he ‘couldn’t feel his face’ as his temperature dropped over the weekend in the city.
The Homeless Project Scotland stepped in to help the man find shelter as he ‘couldn’t wait’ for the council to respond after waiting more than an hour.
The charity teamed up with Glasgow Street Aid who assessed the man and confirmed he needed urgent help as his ‘temperature was very low’.
Now Homeless Project Scotland are calling on more help from councils to tackle the issue as they helped accommodate seven rough sleepers on Saturday night.
It comes after they blasted Glasgow council bosses last week over 'shocking' pictures showing people sleeping rough on the steps of the authority's chambers.
The photographs show a man huddled in a sleeping bag outside the council's ornate headquarters on George Square earlier this month.
Homeless Project Scotland, which runs the soup kitchen at the city's Central Station, said the homelessness situation in the city was at a 'crisis level' and urged the local authority to put in more support.
The Homeless Project Scotland posed on Facebbook saying: “We helped accommodate seven rough sleepers across Scotland.
“Unfortunately there was a man left for 63 minutes on the streets of Glasgow in the wet and cold.
“It got to the point the man was saying ‘please, please, help me. I can't wait on the council to call back much more. It's so so cold outside I can’t feel my face.’
“We linked in with our partners Glasgow Street Aid who came to assess the man as he was so cold.
“We then called the overnight welcome centre as this man was left long enough.
“There need to be more
