Glasgow Central Station incident sees man rushed to hospital as 'blood mopped off floor'

The British Transport Police has confirmed officers were called to the station around 4.45am following reports of a serious assault.

An eyewitness told the Glasgow Times they had seen officers "mopping blood off the floor".

Social media reports told of "a lady, appears to be station staff wiping with a biohazard suit, plus the biohazard bucket next to her had some visibly red-stained wipes."

A Twitter user wrote: "Glasgow Central Station cordened off by police, massive pool of blood on the ground and no one getting in our or out the main entrance.

"Forensics on the scene."

First day back in central station on the commute. Glasgow Central Station cordened off by police, massive pool of blood on the ground and no one getting in our or out the main entrance. Forensics on the scene. Doesn’t look good at all.
