A MAN has been arrested following reports of a person entering a Glasgow hospital armed with a crossbow.
Officers were called to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital at around 6.30am today (May 23) following a report of a man entering the hospital with the weapon.
Firearms officers attended and a 29-year-old man was arrested in connection.
Police say the crossbow was not discharged and there no reports of any injuries.
It's understood some staff were evacuated from the hospital and roads were closed around the site with one eyewitness telling our sister paper The Glasgow Times that traffic was being diverted.
An investigation into the incident is underway and officers say there is no risk to the wider public.
Inspector Alyssa Fullelove-McCann said: "I’m aware this incident will be concerning but I’d like to provide reassurance that it is being treated as isolated and there is no ongoing risk to the public.
"Officers will remain in the area while enquiries are carried out and anyone with concerns or information can speak to them or call 101."
