Calder Street: One man in hospital after Glasgow street locked down after incident

Calder Street was sealed off by police tape, while a fire engine blocked the road to traffic. 

At least seven police vehicles, three fire engines and an Incident Response Unit were on the scene. 

High-level fencing was secured around the area to prevent public access, while officers stood guard. 

A large crowd of people gathered near the street, as well as Langside Road and Govanhill Library.

One eyewitness said: "I saw two police officers banging on two doors earlier by the Govanhill Baths offices but no one was coming out."

Cops confirmed that they were attending following a report of a disturbance within a property and one man was taken to hospital as a result.

They have said that there is no greater risk to the public.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers attended at a property on Calder Street in Glasgow following a report of a disturbance around 12.05pm on Sunday, April 10, 2022. 

“A man has been taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. The incident was contained and there was no risk to the wider public. 

“Enquiries into the incident are ongoing and Calder Street has re-opened.”
