A mass brawl broke out on the M74 motorway in Glasgow after two coaches stopped on the road.

Long tailbacks formed after the buses halted near Junction 1A at Polmadie at around 3pm on Sunday.

Videos circulating on social media appear to show a large group of people involved in a violent altercation on the northbound hard shoulder and left-hand lane of the motorway.

Police were called to the scene but officers said the situation was no longer ongoing when they arrived – however they did assist in clearing the road.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 3.20pm on Sunday, November 21, police were called to a report of a disturbance on the M74 northbound near junction 1A at Polmadie.

“Officers attended however there was no disturbance ongoing on police arrival. Officers assisted and the road was cleared.”
