The Park Inn Hotel was being used by the Mears group to house asylum-seekers during the coronavirus pandemic.  

It is understood the man behind the attacks had been staying in Glasgow for six months and had been struggling with his mental health. 

One of the asylum-seekers had gone to the reception with concerns about the man's behaviour after the man told him he was going to attack. 

The Park Inn resident Siraj, 22, told ITV: "The boy [told] me I will attack. I reported that to the hotel reception. 

"I said I don't have evidence but we need to be careful because we don't know what could happen. 

"He said 'I will attack' so everyone must take it seriously."

"He said 'they hate me, I hate them, they are against me'."

Siraj tried to calm the man, whom he did not know very closely, down.

He added: "I said to him nobody hates you."

The 22-year-old also spoke with a housing manager on the morning of the attack.

The Scottish Refugee Council said they had expressed "repeated concern over the last three months about the use of hotel accommodation for people in the asylum system".

A Home Office spokesperson said: “Police Scotland are investigating an incident at West George Street in Glasgow, and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”
