A MAN has been arrested after a police claimed that an officer was assaulted at an anti-immigration rally in Glasgow.
Hundreds of people gathered at the city's Buchanan Street Steps on Saturday where a "unity rally", organised by convicted domestic abuser and anti-immigration podcaster John Watt, was taking place.
The demonstration was met with a largescale counter-protest, with the two groups separated by lines of police officers and metal railings.
Among those present at the rally were neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative, who displayed a "deport all illegal immigrants" banner.
Signs on the opposing side included "refugees welcome", "stop the far right" and "stop racist Reform UK".
On Sunday, police said a 47-year-old man was arrested in connection, claiming it was with the assault of a police officer during the protests.
Officers said enquiries into the incident are ongoing.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 47-year-old man was arrested in connection with an assault of a police officer during a protest on Buchanan Street, Glasgow on Saturday, September 20, 2025.
“Enquiries are ongoing.”
