A MAN has been arrested after a bus passenger was spotted with what was believed to be a firearm in the Glasgow City Centre.
Firearm police arrived at Buchanan Bus Station around 1.25pm on Saturday September 14 following reports that a man had a weapon.
A 50-year-old man was arrested and enquiries are ongoing into the incident, with the bus and the bus station evacuated as a precaution.
It is understood the firearm was actually a toy gun.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 1.25pm on Saturday, September 14 2024, police, including firearms officers, attended Buchanan Bus Station, Killermont Street, Glasgow, following reports of a male passenger on a bus with what was believed to be a firearm.
“There is now no safety risk to the public and the station is now back open.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
