Concerns have been raised over the state of Glasgow city centre, which shopkeepers say is “getting worse” after a horror double stabbing took place this morning.
Police have taped off an area on Queen Street, near Royal Exchange Square, following the incident at around 4.55am on April 14. Officers rushed to a report that a man had been stabbed.
On arrival, another man was found injured, also believed to have been stabbed. Both men have been taken to hospital – their condition remains unknown at this stage.
Glasgow Live spoke with shopkeepers who have raised concerns after the double stabbing.
One eyewitness said: “When I came into work this morning I saw police outside but wasn’t sure what’s happening. I’m just shocked that someone has been stabbed.
“Some parts of the city centre are really bad which is concerning, especially when you’re walking alone to your car.”
But another was less surprised, stating: “This is just the city centre, it’s getting worse. Glasgow city council have put in anti-social parameters but nothing has changed. I was getting my lunch for today and caught a shoplifter, we are also constantly dealing with shoplifters in here.
“This stabbing is no real shock.”
