Eleven people have been arrested after police were called to an 'incident' near a Glasgow Subway station.

We previously reported that officers were called to a protest at defence and security firm Thales UK Ltd in the city's Govan at around 5am on Wednesday.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators blockaded the company calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and urging the company to end links with Israel.

The force said around 80 people gathered and two men were arrested in connection with alleged disorder offences, while another man was arrested in connection with an outstanding warrant. 

A police officer was injured at the protest but they did not require medical treatment. 

Protesters claimed officers used batons and pepper spray and they described the police response as “disproportionate”.

They said one person went to A&E following the demonstration while another went to a minor injuries unit.

The crowd dispersed at around 11.05am. 

But around 40 minutes later, cops attended Govan Road near Govan Subway station to carry out investigations into the earlier assault on the police officer. 

A subsequent disturbance is then alleged to have occurred and a further 11 people were arrested.

A member of the public was taken to hospital as a precaution.

The total number of arrests made on the day was 14. 

Local area commander, Chief Inspector Derrick Johnston, said: "Police Scotland is a rights-based organisation and our role is to ensure public safety while balancing the rights of protesters.

"The initial gathering passed largely without incident but the disorder that followed was dangerous and unacceptable.

"There are obvious safety concerns when managing demonstrations and a proportionate policing response brought both incidents to a swift conclusion.

"I would like to thank the wider public for their cooperation."

A Thales spokesperson said: “Thales adheres to the UK Government’s industry control system for overseas sales, one of the most rigorous and transparent of its kind in the world.

“In the UK, we have an SME JV with Israeli company Elbit, called U-TacS. This is a UK-registered company that supplies systems to the UK MoD. It does not supply the Israeli military or Israeli MoD.

“As we have said previously, while those outside our site in Glasgow have the right to protest peacefully, we will work with authorities to prosecute anyone who threatens our employees, our property or our important work for the UK armed forces.”
