Glasgow homeless charity push council for safe space after knife incidents

A Glasgow soup kitchen is urging the city council to find them a suitable indoor location following two knife crime incidents in the space of a week.

Colin McInnes, chairman of the Homeless Project Scotland, which is based under Central Bridge in Glasgow, has reissued a plea for a warm and watertight space in the city centre for volunteers to serve food and provide support to the most vulnerable residents.

It comes following an incident on Saturday, November 19, at around 8.40pm when a 22-year-old man who had allegedly been “stabbed three times” on Argyle Street collapsed in front of the charity volunteers.
