A police officer has been injured after football fans attacked cops with furniture during a mass street brawl on a busy Glasgow road. The shocking scenes took place on Paisley Road West, near Seaward Street, on Saturday ahead of the clash between Rangers and Tottenham Hotspur at Ibrox Stadium.
A 24-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident while an emergency stop and search order has been put in place by Police Scotland. Video footage from the scene shows a large crowd blocking the busy roadway before shouts and jeers erupt from the group as they appear to clash.
At least three marked police vans were filmed racing to the scene to break up the rammy while objects were seen being thrown into the crowd. Chief Superintendent Mark Sutherland has blasted the “significant number” of fans who are causing violent scenes across the city on Saturday.
