“Officers were called to Bartholomew Square at around 4am on Saturday 2 January.
“The victim, a 22-year-old local man, was waiting outside the Wah Kiki nightclub in King’s Road Arches for a friend of his when he was approached by another man.
“He then followed him towards the Thistle Car Park where another man was waiting.
