Police have cordoned off part of a street in Glasgow city centre after a man was stabbed less than a mile from the scene of Friday’s knife attack at the Park Inn hotel, which left six people seriously injured and the alleged perpetrator shot dead by police.

Police described the incident on Sunday afternoon as a targeted assault and said there was no wider threat to the public.

Officers were called to the scene just after midday, and police cordoned off an area on Argyle Street at the junction with James Watt Street.

Eyewitnesses described seeing a man lying on the street outside a Premier Inn hotel.

Insp Gareth Griffiths of Police Scotland said: “We were called around 12.10pm on Sunday, 28 June, to a report of an assault in Argyle Street, Glasgow. Officers are currently at the scene. We believe this was a targeted assault and we do not believe there is a threat to the wider public.”
