A teenager was rushed to hospital after an incident at a house in Newton Mearns.
999 crews swarmed the residential area in East Renfrewshire around midnight on Sunday following reports of a break-in.
An injured 16-year-old boy was discovered within.
He was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
The condition of the teenager is unknown.
Terrified residents claimed to have spotted over a dozen police vehicles on the scene in addition to ambulances.
Meanwhile, a 42-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with the alleged possession of an offensive weapon.
The Glasgow Times understands that the teenager was not a resident of the home.
The force has launched a probe into the incident but revealed they are treating it as a concern for a person case.
