A MAN has been arrested after armed police swarmed a block of high-rise flats in Glasgow.
Officers responded to reports of a "disturbance" at Hartlaw Crescent in Hillington on Sunday.
A 42-year-old man was later arrested, with police saying there is now "no wider risk to the public".
The nature of the incident is not currently known but an eyewitness told Glasgow Live that specialist units were at the scene and it appeared to be a “major” police response.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 12.05pm on Sunday, 29 September, 2024, officers attended a report of a disturbance on Hartlaw Crescent, Glasgow.
“A 42-year-old man has been arrested in connection and enquiries are ongoing. There is no wider risk to the public.”
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!
