A terrified Scots mum has issued a warning to pub-goers after watching her teenage daughter collapse in the street outside a Glasgow bar.
The incident took place on Thursday, September 1 when the girl, who is understood to have been spiked, was enjoying a night out with friends to celebrate her 19th birthday in the west end of the city.
The 19-year-old's mum took to Facebook to explain how she saw her daughter lying on the ground outside the Record Factory on Byres Road at around 11pm, before sharing a photo of the girl lying in a hospital bed beside a pool of blood.
The shaken mum wrote: "When I arrived, she was in a really bad way and minutes later, she collapsed. We had to lie her on the ground.
"Her airways were being restricted and she was unresponsive. Her pulse started weakening and there were suggestions of starting CPR. I didn't know what to do or think."
The Record Factory told the Daily Record they believe the girl was spiked before arriving at the venue and said staff called an ambulance for help.
The mum went on to report that paramedics administered a dose of Narcan - a drug used to reverse the effects of opioids - which brought her daughter back round, but that within an hour of arriving at A&E, she took a turn for the worst and her condition began to deteriorate.
The worried parent continued: "Her heart rate was high and she was spaced out, not moving or talking.
"She could respond if spoken to but she was staring into space and had a tremor in her right shoulder. She was also diagnosed with hypothermia and had no short term memory."
Doctors kept the teen in hospital for four days while they carried out further checks and observations.
She is now understood to be "doing well and back to normal" but the frightening ordeal has prompted her mum to issue a warning to others to be vigilant.
The mum added: "My girls are well aware of the dangers of leaving your drink lying and taking your eye off it, but somehow something has still managed to happen.
"She is very lucky she has such good friends around her or the outcome could have been very different."
The Daily Record understands the incident has been reported to Police Scotland and a Record Factory staff member confirmed the venue is working closely with officers to get to the bottom of what happened.
A spokesperson said: "Our manager phoned an ambulance three times altogether - the first time, a minute and forty seconds after the incident occurred, then again ten minutes later to receive an update.
"The girl was only in for one drink but we've done absolutely everything in our power to coordinate with her mum to see if we can find or see anything and we have passed all information and CCTV footage to the relevant authorities.
"We are massive advocates for protesting against incidents like this and do everything we can to prevent it, from staff to security to signs in toilets and external training. As a venue, we did everything by the book."
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We received a call at 23:03 on 1 September to attend an incident on Byres Road, Glasgow.
"One ambulance attended the scene and a patient was transported to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.”
