He is currently in hospital with what is believed to be a broken back and serious injuries to his legs and his head.
The incident occurred at 2am outside his house in the west end of Glasgow.
He was found by neighbour Marc de Ridder, who heard the sound of his moans outside his basement bedroom and went outside to investigate.

He said: "It was very dark, but I discovered someone lying in the basement area, eight feet down from the pavement, obviously in a very bad condition.
"I immediately called 999 and the ambulance arrived, to their credit, before I finished the conversation."
Mr de Ridder said it was only when a paramedic shone a torchlight on the author that he recognised Mr Gray.
According to The Guardian, Police Scotland spokesperson said: “At 1.50am this morning, police received a report of an 80-year-old man having been injured at a property in Glasgow. An ambulance attended and the man was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment. His injuries are not believed to be life threatening at this time and inquiries are continuing.”
He is best known as author of the novel Lanark, but is also regarded for his artwork – including a series of murals.
