AN investigation is underway after a serious incident in Glasgow's East End days before Christmas.
Cops have locked down Westmuir Street in Parkhead to begin a probe.
The Glasgow Times was told they arrived at the scene around 1pm. Several witnesses told our reporter that a stabbing had taken place but there is no confirmation from official sources yet.
The witnesses claimed someone was taken away in an ambulance.
At the scene, police tape has been erected and a marked force van is blocking entry to the street. Officers remain stationed in the area.
The force has been contacted for comment and it is understood local First Bus services have been diverted.
Services 2, 43, 46, 60 and 60A have all been diverted.
More on this breaking incident when we have it.
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!
