Emergency services rushed to the busy area at around 2.15pm on Sunday following reports of a serious assault in broad daylight. Police cordoned off parts of St Enoch Square with blue tape while officers sealed off surrounding streets and carried out enquiries.
According to reports from The Scottish Sun, the incident is believed to involve a stabbing. Authorities confirmed that one person was injured and taken to hospital, although their condition has not been disclosed.
