A man has been rushed to hospital with head injuries after a ‘targeted’ machete attack on a street in Lanark.
Emergency services were called to the scene on Rhyber Avenue at around 8.35pm on Thursday, June 9, after the alarm was raised.
A 31-year-old man was badly injured after the suspect, who was accompanied by three other men, assaulted him in the street.
The gang-of-four also vandalised windows of a house on the same street before fleeing the scene in a dark-coloured motor.
The victim was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where he remains in a stable condition.
A major police investigation has been launched to identify and catch the suspects with investigators appealing for witnesses.
Detective Sergeant Jim Williamson, Wishaw CID, said: “Whilst the motive for this attack has still to be established, we believe that the man, for whatever reason, was specifically targeted.

Elvis Costello and Rod Stewart Spar Online Over Rough Shows, Receding Hairlines and Royalty
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticIn the unlikely rock-star mini-feuds department, Elvis Costello and Rod Stewart — who decades ago had discussions about making an album together — renewed what seems to be a frenemy-ship in recent days. They’ve tangled on social media in a humorously feisty way over what Costello considered to be a botched royal performance by Stewart, and what Stewart considers to be an unbecoming hairline on Costello’s part.According to the Daily Mirror (which Costello additionally took on… because hating the Daily Mirror is one thing almost all music stars can agree on), Costello took a few moments in a Glasgow show to get in a little dig at Stewart, who’s known as a major booster of Scottish soccer.
