A group of late-night revellers tackled a man with a machete.
Police were alerted to the incident in Glasgow’s Hope Street shortly after 1am on Sunday morning.
By the time officers arrived at the scene – near to Glasgow Central Station – the man had been stripped of the blade by members of the public.

A report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal and the man is expected to appear at court on Monday.

“A 51-year-old man was arrested and charged.
“A report has been sent to Procurator Fiscal and the man is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court tomorrow.”
