A man has been arrested after Asad Shah, pictured left, was set upon with a knife and had his head stamped on in a shocking attack outside his Glasgow newsagents shop last night. Locals said Mr Shah was left kneeling in his own blood at the side of the road after the thugs ran off. The appalling attack came just hours after deeply religious 40-year-old, who was keen to reach out from the Muslim community to Christian neighbours, posted heartfelt Easter messages on social media (inset). A police investigation has been launched into the full details surrounding Mr Shah's death, with officers pursuing a line of enquiry that the attack was racially aggravated. Police Scotland confirmed that everyone currently involved in the investigation was a Muslim.
