A schoolboy was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after being knocked off his e-bike in a hit and run in Glasgow.
On Tuesday May 20, at around 8.45pm, emergency crews raced to Saltmarket, Glasgow, near Clyde Street upon receiving reports of a crash involving an e-bike and a car.
The 13-year-old boy riding the e-bike was taken to hospital to be treated for serious injuries.
The car, which was red, briefly stopped on Clyde Street before driving off. Enquiries are ongoing to trace the car and driver.
Constable Stuart Tangny said: 'Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of this incident and I would urge the driver of the car to get in touch with us.

We reported on Saturday, in a separate incident, that a father who died after being hit by a car in Aberdeen has been named by police.
Emergency services raced to the horror collision involving a pedestrian and a black Citroen C1 car on Dyde Drive at 10.45pm on Thursday, May 15. Crews attended but sadly the pedestrian, a 34-year-old man, died at the scene.
He has been named as John Hutcheson from Oldmeldrum. Police say inquiries into the crash are ongoing.
John's sisters, Denise, Karis and Eileigh, have since remembered their brother as a "hero" who was "loved deeply by so many" in a heartbreaking tribute released through Police Scotland.
The tribute reads: 'None of us have ever experienced this level of grief and devastation in our lives, our hearts are broken and will never fully heal from a loss so significant.
'John was a loving son of Shelley and Eddie, a brother to Denise, Karis and Eileigh, a father of Leah and JJ and a friend to so many.
'John was a hero and loved deeply by so many, he was fiercely loyal and protective of the ones he loved dearly.
'His humour and energy was something that is unmatched, and we will continue to remember this in all of our hearts.
'As a family, we would like to thank everyone for their continuous support and thoughts at this devastating time, please know this means so much to us.'
Sergeant Sarah Ritchie, North East Road Policing Unit, said 'Our thoughts remain with John's family and friends at this difficult time.
'Our investigation is ongoing and I would like to thank everyone that has contacted us so far.
'Anyone with information who has not yet spoken to us should contact officers through 101 quoting reference number 4124 of 15 May 2025.'

Madeleine McCann 'smoking gun' may have been found by cops, says expert
Cops probing Madeleine's disappearance may have uncovered key new evidence linking prime suspect Christian Brueckner to the missing toddler, says expert. Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann may have uncovered a major breakthrough after 'new evidence' reportedly linked the missing toddler to prime suspect Christian Brueckner. Authorities in Germany and Portugal spent three days last week scouring a 120-acre patch of land in Lagos, just 30 miles from Praia da Luz where three-year-old Madeleine vanished in May 2007. According to local reports, 'several objects' — including clothing, debris and bones — were recovered during the intense search of scrubland, derelict buildings and a crumbling farmhouse. A source told the Berlin Morning Post: "Several objects have apparently been discovered, which are now being examined in more detail by the police in the laboratory. As Portuguese media report, clothing debris and bones were found, among other things.' The search, carried out at the request of German federal police, focused on gathering fresh evidence that could finally implicate Brueckner, a convicted sex offender long suspected in the case. Disturbing new details about Brueckner have come to light in a recent documentary, including horrifying finds in his lair — such as images of children in swimming costumes, toddler toys, and sick kidnapping fantasies he had written out, including one where he uses chemical ether to abduct a mother and child. The documentary also reveals a harrowing quote allegedly made by Brueckner while discussing Madeleine with an associate: 'She did not scream.' In another chilling passage, he reportedly writes: 'A very small girl enters the room. She's definitely not older than five.' An 80GB hard drive and a laptop key were also uncovered — both allegedly linking Brueckner to the Arade Dam area where last week's search took place. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

One section of the documentary claims the suspect had a twisted ambition to 'capture something small and use it for days.' Experts believe these developments could prove pivotal. Professor Robert Green, Forensic Science expert at the University of Kent, told The Mirror: 'The authorities' decision to carry out a new search, it is likely influenced by the accumulation of new evidence and information that may have come to light, particularly from recent documentaries and interviews. 'As for the hard drive, if it contains incriminating evidence, it may indeed serve as a 'smoking gun' for investigators. Digital evidence often provides invaluable insights into a suspect's activities, intentions, and potential connections to criminal cases. Should the contents be substantial, they could significantly strengthen the case against Brueckner. 'The rationale behind the renewed search could stem from the ongoing pursuit of justice in the Madeleine McCann case and the hope that any additional evidence could lead to a breakthrough.' The new findings have reignited global interest in the case, as Madeleine's family and investigators continue their 18-year fight for justice.

Public's confidence in Police Scotland could be damaged by gender ruling inaction
Public confidence in policing is under threat because of a lack of progress on implementing the Supreme Court 's transgender ruling, it was claimed yesterday. Katharina Kasper, a member of the board of the Scottish Police Authority (SPA), questioned whether there was a 'policy vacuum' over whether rapists can self-identify as women. In a bombshell judgment in April, the Supreme Court stated the words 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex. Top brass had promised a full report on updates to their guidance but yesterday presented an 'interim' report on progress - which Ms Kasper said was 'disappointing'. Last night Scottish Tory equalities spokesman Tess White said: 'Even SPA board members are rightly raising concerns about Police Scotland dragging its feet on the Supreme Court ruling. 'This should not be up for debate and the public will understandably be asking why the force is still not complying with its legal obligations. 'SNP ministers must issue an urgent directive to all public bodies, including Police Scotland, to follow the law immediately so that the public retain confidence in their decision-making.' At a virtual meeting of the SPA's policing performance committee, Ms Kasper challenged Deputy Chief Constable Alan Speirs and Assistant Chief Constable Catriona Paton about trans issues. Ms Kasper voiced a 'degree of frustration', adding: 'I am concerned about public confidence in Police Scotland because this process has been taking so long, and about the impact on officers and staff.' She said Police Scotland's policy on recording gender remained unclear despite the Supreme Court ruling which should have cleared up any confusion. In March, police chiefs asked an equalities watchdog – the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) - for advice about whether they should allow rapists to self-identify as women, and provide single-sex changing rooms for staff. Last year Chief Constable Jo Farrell said the public and MSPs should be 'assured' that a man who commits rape or serious sexual assault will always be recorded as male. In March, the Mail revealed that this stance, which campaigners said was a major policy U-turn, was not communicated to officers, sparking claims that police may have misled parliament. Responding to Ms Kasper, Ms Paton said 'policing is not immune to the complexity of this issue', adding that she 'acknowledged [Ms Kasper's] frustration', while Mr Speirs said she 'understood' her concerns. It came after Ms White raised a formal complaint with Police Scotland about a 'shocking' internal document which compared gender-critical campaigners to Nazis. She was prompted to act after the Mail revealed the paper said 'gender binary' - the belief there are two genders - was a 'key feature' of Hitler's ideology.
