A STABBING in Glasgow on Sunday is not linked to Friday’s attack at the Park Inn Hotel, Police Scotland said.
Officers were called to Argyle Street at the junction with James Watt Street just after midday on Sunday.
The incident took place outside Premier Inn but hotel bosses has said there is no link.
A spokesman said: "Our hotel is closed – there are no guests – and the incident is unrelated to our business in any way.
Inspector Gareth Griffiths said: “Police were called around 12.10pm on Sunday June 28, to a report of an assault in Argyle Street, Glasgow.
“Officers are currently at the scene and inquiries are ongoing.
“We believe this was a targeted attack and that there is no threat to the wider public.
“This is not being treated as linked to the incident in West George Street, Glasgow, on Friday June 26, or any nearby hotels or accommodation.”
Six people were injured, including a police officer, at the attack at the Park Inn Hotel in West George Street on Friday.

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!
