Xsite Braehead and cinema evacuated by police after disturbance breaks out inside

A busy Glasgow leisure centre had to be evacuated by police after a disturbance broke out.

Emergency services raced to Xsite Braehead around 8.15pm on Sunday after reports of the incident.

Visitors had to be evacuated from the leisure centre and cinema while officers dealt with the disturbance inside.

An eyewitness told Glasgow Live that the entrance to the building, on King's Inch Road, was cordoned off by police and three fire engines were in attendance.

Cinemagoers also had to undergo an emergency evacuation with customers forced to abandon screenings.

The centre remained closed for the rest of the remainder of the night despite no arrests or injuries being reported.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "Around 8.15 pm on Sunday, 13 February 2022, police received a report of a disturbance within Xsite Braehead, Kings Inch Road, Renfrew.

“Officers attended and the centre was closed to the public. The situation was resolved and advice was given. No-one was injured and no further action was taken.

“The centre stayed closed for the remainder of the night.”
