A man has been taken to hospital following a “disturbance” that brought a significant police presence to Glasgow’s West End.

Emergency services raced to Hyndland Street in Partick around 4.45pm on Tuesday, July 22. The street was shut in one direction, with nearby Gardner Street also sealed off as officers dealt with the incident.

A 49-year-old man was taken to hospital, with the extent of his injuries currently unknown. Police confirmed enquiries into the incident remain ongoing.

A local resident described seeing a “huge police presence” descend on the busy street, with multiple emergency vehicles at the scene.

They told Glasgow Live: “There’s a huge police presence on Hyndland Street in Partick, next to the Quarter Gill, and the road is closed off at Dumbarton Road.

“I counted six police cars and vans and three ambulances, and there’s a cop standing guard at one close. The area is really busy at the moment so drivers will probably want to avoid it.
