The ambulance left shortly after 2pm as CID joined the numerous officers and vehicles already stationed in the area.

They appeared to retrace footsteps and search an area of pavement near the corner between Eversley Street and Tollcross Road.

CID also carried out door-to-door enquiries at local businesses and it's believed that they were also trying to acquire CCTV footage.

Residents of Eversley Street have been told to remain their homes while the investigation into the alleged stabbing continues.

One local business owner said: "My friend's daughter has been locked inside her room for hours because she stays on that street.

"She doesn't know what to do because the police won't let her out yet. They won't tell her what has happened."
