for some context

Armed police are dealing with a "serious incident" which has shut down part of Glasgow city centre.

There is a heavy police presence on West George Street with more than a dozen police vehicles at the scene.

Police Scotland have yet to confirm the nature of the incident, but a man was seen leaving a building with his hands up.

A statement from the force said the situation was "contained" and there was no danger to the general public.

Witness Craig Milroy, who saw the aftermath of the incident from an office building nearby, said he had seen four people taken away in ambulances.

He told the PA news agency: "I saw a man lying on the ground, of African descent, with no shoes on. He was on the ground with someone holding his side - I don't know if it was a bullet wound, a stab wound, or what it was."

Mr Milroy said the man was one of the four taken away by medics and believed him to be a victim of an attack.

He added: "After that we saw commotion, ambulances further up and we saw armed police all running into the hotel next to the Society Room.

"We were still standing outside, after that the police all came down, the riot police and triage team told us to go back in and lock the door."

[Moorlandman]

Very sad news indeed.

[Tiggers Pal]

Sounds awful, absolutely heartbreaking for those affected. I see the police federation have confirmed a police officer has been stabbed and that the officers family have been notified and are being supported. Just horrific.

Wouldn't you think a pandemic would be enough misery?

[Baggie Bird]

Watching it on Sky News now, sounds awful. Thoughts with all affected.

My son is working round the corner today, he seems to think it’s the Park Inn which houses refugees at present along with homeless.
