Massive fire breaks out in Glasgow where person 'knocked down'

Firefighters are at the scene of a "well-developed" blaze at a business in Glasgow where a person was reportedly knocked down before the fire.

Crews were called to the Tollcross area to the east of the city and emergency services have cordoned off the area while firefighters try to tackle the raging fire.

Police are at the scene, along with four fire engines and an aerial platform.

It comes after locals reported that a person had been knocked down on the same road before the incident.
