A "Serious police incident" took place in central Glasgow on Friday, Glasgow City Council's Traffic Control and Management team [TRAFFCOM] stated.

The British media is reporting, citing witnesses, that "multiple" people may have been stabbed in a stabbing attack in broad daylight, but there is no official confirmation so far.

"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", Craig Milroy, a witness, told the PA news agency.

Police have confirmed the incident, stressing that the situation has been contained and "there is no danger to the general public", but haven’t provided details on the matter.

The news comes after a brutal knife attack in Reading, England last week.
