Glasgow streets locked down by cops over 'concern for person' as man arrested

Police locked down several streets in the west end of Glasgow this morning amid reports of 'concern for a person'.

Archerhill Road in the Knightswood area was cordoned off, along with several side streets, as multiple emergency vehicles converged on the scene at around 4am on February 9.

Parents of tots at Pikeman Nursery on the street received text messages advising them that the facility was temporarily closed.

It is understood the nursery was not directly affected.

Locals reported that streets leading into the main road, close to Great Western Road, were blocked off by police cars.

An image of the scene shared on social media showed emergency vehicles closing the road and halting traffic, with two fire engines parked within the cordon.

Officers have since confirmed that a 40-year-old man was arrested at the scene, and have stressed that the public was not at risk.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were called to a report of a concern for person around 4am on Wednesday, 9 February, at a property in Archerhill Road, Glasgow.

"Officers attended and a 40-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident. There was no threat to the wider public.”

A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We were alerted at 5.23am on Wednesday, February 9 to reports of an incident in Archerhill Road, Glasgow.

“We sent two fire engines to the location and remained on stand by until the incident was resolved."
