THREE teenagers have been arrested and charged following alleged violent disorder on Bonfire Night in Glasgow.
It comes after officers revealed a 17-year-old man was charged with assault and being in possession of a weapon, while two other men, aged 16 and 17, were also charged with assault following disorder on Sunday, November 5 in the city.
As part of their investigations into the disturbances, police are continuing to appeal for information.
Meanwhile, a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal for the trio arrested in Glasgow.
Assistant Chief Constable Tim Mairs, Gold Commander for Operation Moonbeam said: “We are continuing our enquiries into the significant disorder we experienced on bonfire night.
"These arrests are just the start, and we expect to make more in the coming weeks.
“We took a robust stance, and I am proud of the courage, discipline and professionalism that officers showed in the face of the violence that night.
“A number of our officers sustained minor physical injuries, however, we are also aware of the mental impact that dealing with such significant levels of violence can have and will continue to support all officers affected.
"Nobody deserves to be injured in this way for doing their job. An emergency worker is also someone’s son, daughter, husband or wife.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.
