A source said he was set upon by a gang of neds armed with several weapons. They added the boy had been fortunate to survive the attack. A mum-of-four, 31, who tried to keep the lad from losing consciousness, told how the horror unfolded. She said: 'There was a wee boy lying on the floor. He was bleeding. I was talking to him, trying to keep him awake. 'I just told him that his mum would come. The police said he was in a bad state. 'It's just crazy what's happening on our streets. I'm worried about my own kids' safety.' The horror unfolded on Denbeck Street, with cops being alerted to the incident at around 10.30pm. The teenager was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he said to be in a 'stable' condition. Cops have since launched a probe into the horror stabbing and appealed for information - saying four suspects in dark clothing were seen leaving the area. Detective Inspector Lesley-Ann McGee, from Shettleston CID, said: 'This was a violent attack that left a teenage boy with serious injuries, and we are doing everything we can to trace those responsible. Police probing death of 'stabbed' teen Kayden Moy swoop on Scots park 'I would urge anyone who saw what happened or noticed anything suspicious in the area to get in touch with police as soon as possible. 'We're also keen to speak to anyone who may have private CCTV, doorbell or dash-cam footage from Denbeck Street, Shettleston Road, Wellshot Road or the surrounding areas on Thursday night. Any information, no matter how small, could help us as we continue our enquiries.' There were visible splatters of blood on the pavement on Friday morning, while CID officers were speaking to teenagers near the crime scene. Shettleston councillor Thomas Kerr said the incident was 'heartbreaking and shocking'. He said: 'There is a knife crime epidemic in Scotland. 'Parents should not be scared for their sons or daughters to leave the house. Something needs to change. 'My thoughts are with the young man's family, and I hope he makes a speedy recovery.' A local mum-of-four, aged 38, warned that 'weans aren't safe to go anywhere'. She added: 'It seems to be getting worse.' A gran-of-two, 65, who lives near the scene, said: 'I think it's shocking that there are so many stabbing across Glasgow. 'It seems to be getting out of hand. My granddaughter is around the same age and I'm worried for her safety.' The latest violence shock comes days after we told how John Swinney was warned his 'weak and reckless' justice system is costing lives amid alarm at a deadly knife crime wave. Scottish Tories leader Russell Findlay accused the First Minister of 'fuelling youth violence' amid a 'sickening' 600 per cent rise in serious assaults committed by teens in five years. The Holyrood showdown came after day tripper Kayden Moy, 16, was allegedly stabbed to death at Irvine beach in Ayrshire on May 17. In a separate incident another teen was allegedly stabbed at Portobello Beach in Edinburgh the day before. Meanwhile, Scotland's top cop called for a crackdown on violence in schools after we revealed a boy of seven allegedly took a blade into Heathfield Primary in Ayr to attack another pupil. We also told earlier this week how a 10-year-old lad was threatened with a blade by a tearaway classmate in Kilmarnock. A boy of the same age was reported to authorities over the incident. Earlier this month, a 14-year-old thug was locked up for five years for killing Kory McCrimmon, 16, in Glasgow in a fight over £50. And a group of teenagers are currently facing charges in connection with the death of 15-year-old Glasgow teen Amen Teklay.
