Two men charged after bare-knuckle boxing event at Hydro in Glasgow

Two men have been charged after a large disturbance in Glasgow on Saturday night.

Officers attended reports of a disturbance in the Congress Road area around 11.10pm on Saturday, November 7.

Two men, aged 32 and 27, were arrested and charged with offences including assault, obstructing police and threatening and abusive behaviour.

They are due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday, November 9.

Another man was arrested and issued with a recorded police warning for threatening and abusive behaviour.

Three officers were assaulted during the disorder, with two of them requiring medical treatment.

Chief inspector Paul Daley said: “Several officers were assaulted whilst carrying out their duties during disorder following an event at the Hydro in Glasgow on Saturday night.

“Violence against officers is disgraceful and will not be tolerated. Being assaulted is not part of the job and it’s extremely fortunate they were not seriously injured.

“Officers are carrying out extensive enquiries in relation to the disturbance which occurred and anyone found responsible will be brought to justice.

“I would appeal to the public for information to assist our enquiries. Anyone with information should contact police via 101, quoting incident 2029 of November 7.

“We continue to work closely with partners and event organisers to assist their plans for maintaining public safety and to ensure that the overall experience is safe for those in attendance and the local community.”
