Police swoop on 'large disturbance' at Glasgow's Kelvingrove Park

Police have swooped on a 'large disturbance ' at Glasgow's Kelvingrove Park.

Officers were patrolling the popular West End park when the incident kicked off at around 7pm on Friday April 23.

Police confirmed the 'disturbance' and said that cops remain on the scene.

The nature of the incident or if there have been any injuries are yet to be confirmed.

Enquiries into Friday's incident are ongoing.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Police in Glasgow were conducting a routine patrol in Kelvingrove Park on Friday, April 23, when they became aware of a large disturbance at around 7pm.

"Officers remain at the scene and enquiries are ongoing."

It comes after hundreds of people who brought booze to a Glasgow park were knocked back by cops as part of a council crackdown on public drinking after  coronavirus  rules were relaxed.

Glasgow City Council  has revealed that more than 400 'groups and individuals' were refused entry to the popular Kelvingrove Park with cops and council wardens stationed at the gates.

The local authority today said that 413 groups were knocked back from entering the public park while 'many' others were kicked out for  drinking.
