Armed police were called to the scene of a disturbance involving several men with weapons in a busy residential area of Glasgow.

Police were called to Muirshiel Crescent around 7.15pm on Sunday after the incident broke out.

A 19-year-old man was found injured and taken to hospital for treatment. His condition is currently unknown.

A car involved in the incident was found on fire after colliding with several parked vehicles.

A police car parked on the road also caught alight as the fire spread.

A 27-year-old man was arrested and released without charge, and extensive investigations are ongoing.

“Anyone with concerns or information can approach officers on patrol who will be happy to assist.”
