Police are appealing for witnesses to the attempted murder of Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel
Steven “Bonzo” Daniel was left with serious wounds after two men attacked him with a blade in his car in the Port Dundas area of Glasgow last week.
The 37-year-old, now in a stable condition in hospital, is a nephew of the late Jamie Daniel, whose family have been linked to gangland disputes, and police say the attack was “clearly targeted”.
Despite being asked for help in catching his attackers, Daniel has repeatedly refused to co-operate.

Detectives are now appealing for two people thought to have witnessed the attack in the early hours of last Thursday to get in touch.
I would appeal to these people to do the right thing and pass on their information to the police
The victim was driving a dark blue Skoda Octavia on Saracen Street, Glasgow, just after midnight when two cars began to pursue him.
They chased him onto Craighall Road near Dobbies Loan at the slip road to the M8, causing him to bring the vehicle to a stop, after which he was assaulted.
Police said two people were seen waiting to cross the road at the time.
