12-year-old boy falls through ice on Queen's Park pond

People were cleared off the pond at Queen's Park this afternoon after a 12-year-old boy fell through the ice.

Officers were in the park at the time and were made aware of the youngster's fall, prompting them to remove others from the pond.

Thankfully the boy was uninjured.

Police continue to urge people to avoid the ice across Glasgow as the cold winter weather continues.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Officers in Glasgow were made aware of a 12-year-old boy who had fallen into water at Queen's Park pond on Tuesday, 5 January.

"He did not require medical treatment.

"Members of the public were asked to come off the pond as a result. 

"Officers have had a visible presence in the park today to remind the public of the dangers that can be posed by walking on ice and frozen ponds."
